Parker about Barolo Bricco Rocche 2018
Made with certified organic fruit, the Ceretto 2018 Barolo Bricco Rocche shows thin texture and a mild personality with subtle aromas of dried rose, cassis and crushed stone. This vintage is more subdued for sure, but it's silky and accessible as well. Compared to past editions, this wine shows a shy set of aromas. I've opened the drinking window to allow for more time for its evolution.
