Overview

2003 Barolo Cerequio—All class and elegance, the 2003 Cerequio displays a multi-dimensional personality and layers of spice, cocoa, mineral, and dark red fruit that emerge from the glass with notable length and exquisite balance. A great effort. (93-96), 11/05 Roberto Voerzio has been excited about the quality of his 2003s for some time, saying, I consider 2003, along with 1997 and 2000, to be my best vintages since 1996. (Antonio Galloni, Jan 2006)

Reviews

Wine Spectator - June 2008 - James Suckling - 93 points

Barolo Cerequio 2004 - Plenty of blackberry, lavender and milk chocolate on the nose. Full-bodied, with velvety tannins and a long, fruity finish. Balanced and pretty. Best after 2011.
