Barolo, Brunate Bricco Rocche--Vintage 1990
Piedmont. Ceretto
Tasting Note: The 1990 Barolo Brunate is the most aromatic and perfumed of the three 1990 Barolos I tasted. Concentrated and full-bodied, with sweet tannin, ripe fruit, and a luscious, multi-dimensional personality, this wine should drink well for 15-20 years.
The 1990 offerings are all outstanding, combining fabulous extract levels with aromatic bouquets and opulent, voluptuously rich flavors, textures, and finishes. Ceretto's 1989s and 1990s are unquestionably the finest Barolos I have tasted from this firm. Ceretto's proclivity to produce elegant, graceful, easy going wines has not been compromised in either vintage, but the wines boast terrific richness and concentration. The result is a bevy of riveting Barolos that can be drunk early, or aged for 15 or more years.
Ceretto has a propensity to produce easy to drink, delicately-styled Piedmontese wines. While this is evident in the two blockbuster vintages of 1989 and 1990, the Ceretto brothers have made more concentrated and powerful wines than usual. Ceretto enjoyed superb success in both vintages, producing wines opulent enough to be drunk, but with enough concentration and richness to last for 10-15 years. These are top class efforts! Kudos to the Ceretto brothers! Robert Parker, Wine Advocate 92 (Apr 1994).
