The 2018 Barolo Cerequio is lovely

but it also has some brioche aromas

rose hip tea and fallen leaves over a core of warm redcurrants

black truffles and charcoal plus a fragrant waft of violets

David & Nadia, Hoe-Steen Chenin Blanc other_regions The 2018 Barolo Cerequio isThe 2022 Hoe Steen Chenin Blanc comes from a vineyard of clay soils over limestone, with a south facing aspect that is among the last to ripen. The nose is open knit and expressive with layers of wet stone and spicy lemon skin. Medium bodied, the palate is balanced with good acidity before ending with a fresh, clean finish. It's delightful, but I still prefer the 2021 vintage.
