Achilli Boroli's 2016 Barolo Cerequio wraps over the palate with dark richness and medium-weight concentration. This opulent wine opens to rich fruit aromas with lots of spicy definition, revealing toasted hazelnut and spice obtained with oak aging. You also get a pretty hint of truffle-infused soil. These wines from Boroli carry a heavier oak signature that gives them a rich, fleshed out personality. This Cerequio opens nicely (as I discovered) with a double decant, but it is also built for the long haul.

Vanilla and coconut aromas give way to cherry and plum flavors in this red, with hints of tar and mint. This tips to the dry side in the mix, with a moderately long finish. Best from 2024 through 2038. 600 cases made, 100 cases imported.??–BS??Region: Italy / Piedmont / Barolo Select to Add
