Ceretto (Bricco Asili), Barbaresco Bernardot Vintage:2001 Sweet dark cherries

Sweet dark cherries

Once again there is a plethora of floral elements adding a touch of elegance to the baked dark berry fruit and earth-scented nose

offering bold cassis fruit and hints of dark chocolate underscored by enlivening notes of mint

notably dry and driving finish

Ceretto (Bricco Asili), Barbaresco Bernardot Vintage:2001 Sweet dark cherriesThe 2008 Barbaresco Bernardot emerges from the glass with freshly cut flowers, sweet red berries, spices and licorice. Here, too, the fruit is fairly immediate, and while there is good underlying structure, I dont see the Bernardot as a super long term ager. Floral, spiced notes reappear on the well articulated, nuanced finish. Anticipated maturity, 2013 2023.
