Paolo Scavino, Barolo Rocche Annunziata Riserva Vintage:2013 eucalyptus and blackberries

eucalyptus and blackberries

lingering aftertaste

Highlights how sure and confident was the winemaking at Haut-Bailly ten years on from Bob Wilmers arrival

The 2011 Barolo Ornato is similarly rich and powerful

but much of that has been absorbed into the wine

Paolo Scavino, Barolo Rocche Annunziata Riserva Vintage:2013 eucalyptus and blackberriesEnrico Scavinos 1990 Barolo Riserva Rocche dellAnnunziata (magnum), here in its first vintage, is a great example of the modern school of Barolo. Silky tannins frame a core of expressive red berries, crushed flowers and sweet spices. As outstanding as this magnum is, it doesnt quite reach the heights of a magnum I tasted a few months ago, and both were from the same case. Sometimes, thats just the way it goes. Antonio Galloni
