pretty closed down, almost muted at first and miles away from the perfume of the 2011, so keep away for another 3 at least. good stuff in here but comes across as pretty rustic at this point.

Opened in bottle for 6 hours. Needs more time in bottle as complexity/depth just began to emerge. Primal and a little harsh but still very enjoyable. Looks and drinks almost like Barolo with it's dark garnet and sweet finesse. Lots of syrupy red fruit, truffle, earth, vanilla liqueur, and earth. Still so tannic and hard to really decifer. 93-95 points.

Bruno Rocca visit with Francesco Rocca (Rabajà, Barbaresco): The non-Riserva. To be released in September 2016. Lovely floral and spicy aromatics. Elegance up front on the palate, power and energy on the back. Less acidity evident than in the 2014, but still very good and well balanced. Satiny and light on its feet. Real length. Give it 3+ years in the cellar.
