The 2001 Barolo Cerequio has not developed as well as I had hoped. The aromas are a bit forward while the fruit has begun to dry out. The 2001 posssesses good depth, but it needs to be enjoyed sooner rather than later. Leather, spices, tobacco and licorice are some of the nuances that linger on the finish. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2016.
