    Justerini & Brooks Tasting note
    Paolo Scavino, Barolo, Rocche dell'Annunziata, Riserva, 2000

    A great vineyard planted with old vines dating back to 1942. The 2000 has been aged for 12 months in French oak barriques, 24 months in French oak tonneaux and cellared in bottle for a further 6 to 7 months. An intense mineral and fruit packed wine, parading flavours of hazelnut, cedarwood, ripe cherry, sloe, and rose petal. Less tight-packed than the serious 1999, this is more opulent and softer textured with generous, seductive sweet rich tannins.

    The 2000 Barolo Riserva Rocche dell'Annunziata is another exceptional Barolo. Impossibly fine, silky tannins support sweet red cherries, raspberries, rose petals and spices, all of which come together in the open-knit style that is typical of this great site. This, too, is another fabulous Barolo from Scavino.
