  Quite tannic but not as much as the 05 Brunate. I would wait a few more years.

  Tasted at a wine dinner in NYC @ Marta. This still seems pretty young but promising aromatics of pine tree, dark plum, tar, smoke, minerality, some crushed violets, overall pretty layered and deep. It‘s pretty full-bodied, almost creamy in texture, has medium-high tannin that is very good quality and medium-high acidity providing freshness. Good length. A very good Rocche that might profit from another few years in bottle. Lovely.

  Tasted out of the bottle, very, very tight. After 5 hours in the decanter, the fresh cherries came out. Quite lovely now.

  Aerated to decanter for 3 hours. While certainly good this isn't quite managing up to the nose's promise; not ideally harmonious on the palate. This may have been an off bottle. NR

  The wine got two, three hours in the Decanter before it was tested over a couple of hours.
  
  Appealing and pretty complexity on the aromas with darker red berries, wonderfully developed tones of truffle, licorice, balsamic and still a touch of smokiness. A small herbal green tone is also noticed.
  
  Pretty rich and deep wine with red slightly cool and fresh berries with a pronounced pretty vegetal tone, but
  not over on the unpleasant green side. Strong mushrooms and balsamic tones also develop with time in the glass. Some minerality too. Good tannin-structure.
  
  
  Pretty, slightly drying finish. The wine seems a little unresolved and is not as charming as Lazzarito in the vintage, but is for sure a complex and special wine. 94 points
