Community Tasting Note

HowardNZ Likes this wine:

Monday, July 25, 2016 - Bruno Rocca visit with Francesco Rocca (Rabajà, Barbaresco): My WoTD (before the wines at dinner). Once past some initial reduction on the nose, then an even more exquisite, powerful, darker perfume than for the last Riserva. This, in my view, is Grand Cru Barbaresco. Linear, focused, powerful and long. After some fruit sweetness on the entry, the limestone soil influence makes itself felt in fineness, finesse and class. Harmonious, with lovely, sparkling acids. Stony minerals and austere at its core. Detailed and nuanced, multi-layered.
