Community Tasting Note

kenv Likes this wine:

Saturday, March 25, 2017 - 2013 Bruno Giacosa Rabajà and Rocche (Home): Pop n pour about 2pm: Lovely perfume of smoky sweet red fruits and licorice. Hints of chocolaty spice. Silky on the palate with rich red fruit in the middle and rough tannins on the long cherry finish. Nice earthy red fruits. Amy sniffs both bottles and says the left one (Rabaja) is the girl and the right one (Rocche) is the boy.
Open 8 hours: Dark red fruits in the nose. Fuller, thicker, richer, with loads of tannin in the middle and finish. Long and delicious, but not much weight or power.
Open 28 hours: It has developed a rich vibrancy that I associate with young Giacosa. The tannins have softened and there is a long finish of sweet red fruit, licorice, and fruitcake. Pretty good for the first vintage from this parcel. 91-93 points
