2014 Bruno Giacosa - Barolo Falletto Vigna Le Rocche RiservaColour : Red Producer : Bruno Giacosa Label Name : Barolo Falletto Vigna Le Rocche Riserva Country : Italy Region : Piedmont Sub Region : Barolo Variety : Nebbiolo Vintage : 2014 Capacity : 750 ml Standard Bottle Rating : 98 points James Suckling, 97 points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 96 points Wine Spectator, 94 points Decanter Tasting Note : The aromas are so seductive with dried roses and berries. Tar and asphalt, too. Full bodied, very tight

Chapoutier’s Ermitage l’Ermite Blanc is one of the rarest and most extraordinary white wines produced anywhere in France: a pure Marsanne from the Ermite lieu-dit at the summit of the Hermitage hill

graphite and French oak meld together effortlessly

and I would not expect it to hit its full plateau of maturity for another 3-5 years

edgy underlying structure

cotton candy and dried fruit complete its rich bouquet

earthy components matched to a well of mulled black currant and blackberry fruit

This lovely wine is suave and fine-grained and finishes very long

Vinous 93 pts

a real essence of Genevrieres
