"The 2013 Barolo Cerretta is a bit darker and more muscular than the Prapò tasted alongside it. The slightly more forward aromatics suggest a greater presence of small oak as well which also pushes the fruit back in favor of more floral/earthy/savory spectrum of aromas and flavors. The insistent, muscular tannins need time to soften, but the real question is how much fruit will be left when that happens, if ever. All things considered, the 2013 is a strong effort, but it would be nice to see a little more freshness." -Vinous

"The 2013 Barolo Cerretta is a graceful and silky expression that shows an elegant disposition. This wine is increasingly introspective and insular, but in a good way. It sparks a sudden curiosity in terms of where its future evolution will take it. The results are balanced and delicate, although the intensity is a bit subdued and underplayed at this young stage. Give it time."
