tenuta rocca nebbiolo (barolo)

點(diǎn)擊次數(shù)：2385

The 2002 vintage did not give Tenuta Rocca the grapes it needed for its Barbera selection or for its Barbera-Nebbiolo blend, but the 2000 Barolo of the house is a real success with its powerful, well-spiced nose of wild cherries, chocolate, and tar, structured flavors of real volume and weight, and a solid finish of ripe red fruit and licorice. The tannins need a bit of time, and the wine can best be drunk between 2006 and 2018. Importer: Clyde Thomas, New York, NY; tel. (212) 343-9100

Silky and tight wine with pretty fresh rose and strawberry aromas and flavors. Medium- to full-bodied, with fine tannins and a refreshing, citric aftertaste. Clean and fresh style. Best after 2006. 300 cases made, 200 cases imported.??–JS??Region: Italy / Piedmont / Barolo Select to Add

The Tenuta boasts a mature gorgeous nose of plums, smoked meat, chocolate and road tar. The complexity comes through on the palate, but it is confined to the midpalate, leaving little for the finish. While the flavors seem fully mature, the structure is not; hence the slight disconnect on the palate.——M.G.(4/1/2007)—— 90
