Ceretto 2003 Bricco Rocche Prapó (Barolo)

Country: Italy / Piedmont
Variety: Nebbiolo
Winery: Ceretto / Bricco Rocche Prapó

Slightly backward, particularly given the vintage, the wine has a complex nose with plenty of dark fruit, Turkish delight, smoked meat and earth. A full rich palate, slightly soft, it begins to run out of steam a little in mid palate, but returns with a flourish, and the finish is long and nuanced. Will repay 5+ years of cellaring.
