Ceretto's 2001s have fared quite a bit better than the 2000s. I remember tasting the 2001s when they were about to be released. At the time the wines were quite sleek and oaky. Since then, the estate has backed off considerably on the new French oak, as I detail in my article on the 2008 Barolos.

The Ceretto style aims to incorporate aspects of both traditional and modern winemaking. Fermentations last 12-14 days and aging is done in 300 liter French oak barrels. While the use of oak remains noticeable, these are wines of great overall balance and harmony.
