Full bodied

(a little known 1er that sits directly above Chambertin-Clos de Bèze made from vines planted in 1973)

the 2018 Cote Rotie la Cote Blonde features elegant hints of mixed herbs entwined around bold boysenberry fruit

the 2009 Ermitage le Meal is as good as Hermitage gets

flinty touches to the nose - it’s still extremely young - with green and red apple notes and some clear slate and wet stone minerality

Bruno Giacosa, Barolo Vigna Rocche Riserva (Red Label) Vintage:2014 Full bodiedThe 2000 Barolo Riserva Le Rocche del Falletto is soft and quite open in feel. It also shows a slightly roasted quality it has always had that is a hallmark of this warm vintage. Sweet red cherry, smoke, leather and tobacco add shades of nuance throughout. Although not likely to be a long term ager by Giacosa standards, the 2000 is quite enjoyable tonight. Antonio Galloni
