One of my favorite Piedmontese producers has turned out three very good 1991 Barolos from his vineyards surrounding the village of La Morra. All these single vineyard Barolos share deep garnet colors that suggest full maturity, but the wines' flavors and structure indicate surprising longevity. The 1991 Barolo Cerequio's personality is closer to La Serra. These three 1991 Barolos displayed less significant differences than usual. They are successful wines for what is considered to be a mediocre vintage for Barolo. Roberto Voerzio's offerings are well above that image of quality. Look for these wines to offer near-term drinking, and age well for 10-15 years, with the potential to raise their scores by 1-3 points. - Robert M. Parker, Jr.
