James Suckling 97
This full-bodied, brawny wine is built for aging. Firm tannins wrap around red plums, iron, balsam and wet stones for a very dry, appetizing and bracing mouthfeel. The wine will soften and gain amazing complexity with time.

The 2020 Barolo Bricco Rocche is powerful, tannic and quite closed. This embryonic Barolo is going to need time to come together, as it is quite reticent today. It shows darker fruit, energy and more body than the Rocche di Castiglione. Scorched earth, leather, spice and crushed flowers linger on the driving finish.

The Ceretto 2020 Barolo Bricco Rocche has ripe fruit, perfumed wood, sticky cherry, lady's perfume, lilac, passion flower and good acidity, and the wine finishes on a sour note. This hot vintage does not live up to some of the exceptional editions of Bricco Rocche we have seen in the recent past like in 2016 and 2019. It lacks the fight and grit that those cooler vintages delivered so well. This 2020 vintage feels more monotone overall; although it does have Nebbiolo high notes, the volume is turned down a little.

The nose of this Barolo draws you in with the alluring dance of cherries, cranberries, and raspberries, while hints of mint, thyme, and basil add an intriguing herbaceous touch. Cinnamon, white pepper, and vanilla weave between the mixed berry flavors across the palate, creating a complex and inviting wine. Well-structured and supported by firm tannins and lively acidity, ensures a lifted and pretty wine that lingers long after the last sip.

Rose, cherry, strawberry and white pepper aromas and flavors are the hallmarks of this perfumed red, which is elegant and harmonious, revealing light oak spice and civilized tannins on the lingering finish.
