Nose: hot year, raisin, sage, menthol, leather, grassy, tar, cinnamon. Candied orange peel, very sweet. Low acid after decanting. Tea bitters, herby tannins, very structured and vertical. Rocche is the highest plot on Castiglione Falletto yet it tastes like a Serralunga, particularly a Falletto here. 14.5pc, high content and this overpowers the subtlety of Rocche more broadly.
Lalande de Pomerol; Merlot-Franc; lacquered, limousine woody nose; smoked trout; salted almond, some fruit, spice, vegetal, green peppers, radish, caramel; 80pc;20pc; super smooth; no tannin or acid; syrupy unbalanced, drinkable.
