Good medium red. Reticent aromas of currant and strawberry. Sweet on entry, then closed, even a bit tough, in the middle, hinting at a medicinal austerity. In comparison, the Rocche is a fragrant, feminine wine while this is distinctly muscular, powerfully structured Barolo. Finishes with youthfully painful tannins that will likely require a good decade of patience.

Rating for Italy-Piedmont: 96 (slightly better than average year)<br/><br/>Drinkability: too young, let it sit<br/>
