"“Presents plum, cherry, leather, iron and eucalyptus flavors wrapped in toasty, vanilla-tinged oak. Firms up on the finish, where a pleasantly astringent feel lingers. Delivers a warm, spicy aftertaste. “"

"The 2019 Barolo Cerretta shows a more restrained side of Serralunga (in relative terms), as most wines from this site do. Forward and supple, the 2019 has good depth. I find it a touch advanced in terms of its flavor profile, despite its pretty red-toned fruit, incense, spice, leather and tobacco flavors."
