2014 Ceretto, Barbaresco, Bernardot 1x750ml

Vinous 94

The 2014 Barbaresco Bernardot has shut down since I last tasted it about nine months ago. The breadth that is typical of this Treiso site comes through, but the 2014 is quite reluctant today. Hints of smoke, licorice, underbrush and a host of balsamic notes infuse the resonant finish. Time in the glass brings out the wine’s pliant side, but readers should plan on cellaring the 2014 for at least a few years. Readers will have to be patient. [Antonio Galloni, 01/10/2017]
