Le Rocche del Falletto Riserva Barolo Nebbiolo
Amazing wine. While of course still young, the magic of the red label from the master in ‘07 was in full form tonight wafting a captivating bouquet of Christmas spices, rose pedals, licorice, worn leather and a menthol freshness. A stunning perfume. The palate shows incredible richness and density yet without weight nor heat, and the most luxurious of textures that wraps around the mouth before its multi-minute finish. Wow.
