  September 2, 2022 - In a delicious spot right now with lots of rich, chewy youthful cherry accented with florals. Young but reasonably elegant tannins frame the fruit well. While this can age comfortably for a decade+, it's pretty darn good and complete now.

  May 30, 2022 - Sings on pop n’ pour. Forward, loaded nose of plum and macerated cherry dosed with spice, licorice, fresh cut flowers and tar. Palate follows suit with a rich and powerful profile. Fruit and structure are harmonious. At the very front end of a two decade+ drinking window.

  April 1, 2022 - Festa del Piemonte: Gala Dinner (The Pool in NYC): Lovely wine. Very elegant and well structured with dark fruits and overall quite tasty. Made me a bit sadder that our mag of the '96 was completely off.

  December 22, 2018 - Very red fruited on the nose with scents of rose petals and folded in oak lifted by a hint of VA. Bright, with tons of acid for the vintage. Medium weight and still very tannic with decent length to the earthy finish. A bit tight still and tarry, severe and lacking the joyous fruit it once had. This is a tough bird once again tonight but better than the last bottle. Long, tannic, and slightly bitter finish. This is a powerhouse without the weight.
  
  And this grows superbly in the glass. I gave it a 9 hour double decant and it unfolded in the glass during the course of a 2 hour dinner. Still tight, though becoming elegant and transparent in the mouth with fine black cherry skin fruit, a hint of coffee, and penetrating minerality emerging on the midpalate and driving through the lengthening cherry fruited finale. One must have faith, and while this may never evolve to be the greatest example of Rocche, all signs point towards it becoming a classic example. A wonderful surprise to me! I look forward to following this over the next 2 decades to see where it ends up. Given current pricing it remain a decent value but I don't expect to buy more unless at a discount to current retail. 92pts with room to grow.
