  May 27, 2023 - Translucent pomegranate color. Very aromatic, black fruits, violet. On the palate, med+ body, med acidity, med+ and slight gripping tannins. Very well made! Glad that I have another bottle and will try after 5 years.

  February 26, 2023 - Al naso profondi profumi di frutti a bacca rossa e terziari splendidamente amalgamati. Al palato si ritrovano tutti i sapori portati dai profumi. Signorile, elegantissimo, con tannini di fine qualità, possenti ma velati ma ben equilibrati al resto. Grande struttura e corpo, equilibrio. Persistenza lunghissima. E pensare che è ancora giovanissimo. Spettacolare.

  February 8, 2022 - Ripe red cherry, espresso, rose, red hots, and a touch of quinine comprise the rich, impactful nose of the 2016 Ratti Rocche dell’ Annunziata. The tannin isn’t too punishing and the long, lingering finish offers promise. 93+?

  June 6, 2021 - Farge: Typiske nebbiolo med litt rubinpreg
  Duft. Tørr kjeller med noe mørk frukt i bakkant
  Smak: Kragftige tanniner, her er det mye å gå på. preg av surkirsebær med mere. Noe morken ved. Noe søtlig i ettersmaken.
  
  DAG2
  Duft: Hint av tørr jord
  Smak: Kraftige tanniner, begynner å rundes litt. Litt morken ved, surkirsebær og flere mørkerøde frukter. Nyansert og lang ettersmak. Fortsatt noe søtlig.
  
  DAG3
  Duft: hint av 'anilin'
  Smak: Svakere preg av morken ved og kursebær. Noe sølig i ettersmaken.
  
  God, men jeg tror jeg holder meg til Conca, som allerede er bestilt.

  February 4, 2020 - Tasted at the Barolo and Barbaresco World Opening Tasting Event in NYC. Similar to the Conca cru, this was drinking almost too good for such a young Barolo. The nose was captivating but seemingly modern and barrique influenced but I was told this was aged in botte grande. Very soft texture and modest tannin and acidity. There were vanilla, chocolate, fresh berries and a moderately long finish. Seemed out of character with the vintage based on all the other 2016's I tasted today. But, that said it was quite delicious for drinking now and over the next 5-10 years while the rest of your Barolo sit the cellar!
