Tasting notes
The 2016 Barolo Rocche dell'Annunziata is a classic wine from this site. Fresh and vibrant, with superb depth, the Rocche shows just how appealing the vintage is. Dark cherry, spice, mocha, cedar and leather build in the glass. More than anything else, I am so impressed with the wine's depth and dimension. The 2016 Rocche is one of the best Barolos I have tasted from Rocche Costamagna.

La Morra. Tasted blind. Just mid ruby. Earthy nose with a note of pine needle and a hint of old leather. The fruit is slow to emerge on the palate, but the whole is finely balanced with lively, supple acidity and coating tannins. Elegant as well as concentrated. (WS)
Quite developed nose, tar and liquorice. Sweet spice and a long, layered mid palate. It is quite chewy at the moment, almost a little lactic. I’d like a bit more vibrancy and verve. (AC)
