Drink 0-0, Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Oct 2017

This bottle of Corino's 1996 Barolo Rocche appears to be less than perfect given its showing in this tasting, especially next to the other wines in the range. I hope to have a chance to taste it again soon.

Score 89-92/100 · Drink 2003-2012, Robert Parker, Aug 1999

The 1996 Barolo Rocche reveals a dried Provencal herb, peppery, smoky character reminiscent of some wines from southern France. The wine has plenty of tannin, and sweet black cherry fruit intermixed with charcoal scents. Medium to full-bodied, moderately tannic, and complex, it will benefit from 2-3 years of cellaring. Anticipated maturity: 2002-2012. A Marc de Grazia Selection, various American importers, including Michael Skurnik, Syosset, NY; tel. (516) 677-9300, Vin Divino, Chicago, IL; tel. (773) 334-6700, and Estate Wines, Ltd., San Rafael, CA; tel. (415) 492-9411

Deep ruby-red. Superripe aromas of black cherry, currant, chocolate and oak. Thick, sweet and supple; broad shouldered but also very concentrated, with impressive density. Finishing fruit stains the palate and outlasts chewy, mouth-dusting tannins.
