Ceretto Barbaresco Bernardot

Done.

Surprisingly weak. Bought this on release. Feels tired, overoaked and out of balance.

very nice

Crianza en barrica y botti. Cultivo biodinámico. Capa media baja. Nariz alcohólica, notas de madera nueva. En boca está domado, muy ancho y redondito. Bueno y fácil de beber. Astringencia perfecta.

he nose showed a ripe, yet otherwise classic nose of dark red fruits, crushed strawberry, cedar, and sweet spice. On the palate, I found smooth, almost silky textures cut by a core of concentrated red berry fruit and a vibrant lash of acidity. Dark soil and inner floral tones lingered long on the finish with a hint of dried cherry. This didn’t show the overt ripeness of the year, in fact, it performed very well.

Tight on the nose with game, red fruit, warm spice and gentle oak. Elegant on palate with firm fine-grained tannins of excellent quality and pronounced acidity. Moderately concentrated with a very reasonable length. Very good approachable Barbaresco needing some food.
