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.

Antonio Galloni, Vinous

The 2013 Barolo Riserva Rocche dell'Annunziata is powerful and dense in the glass. Readers will have to be patient, as the 2013 is going to need a few years to soften. When I think of Rocche dell'Annunziata, I think of Barolos built on perfume and elegance. I don't see much of that here, at least in the early going. This is an especially extracted style. Hints of red plum, mocha, wild flowers and spice add nuance over time, but the 2013 is not ready yet to show all of its cards.
