  2008 Bruno Giacosa Barolo Falletto Le Rocche del Falletto Riserva
  A young pup indeed, but an extraordinary wine in the making. Quite bunched up, but knowing this needed time, I decanted it mid morning and tasted throughout the day, marveling at how slowly but beautifully it unfurled. All the markings of great Barolo, smoke and anise but highlighted by a gorgeous underpinning of rose petals. Finish long and layered.
  
  I think Galloni was not a fan; not sure if he tasted an off bottle. This is serious stuff, and I am glad I have a few bottles which I hope I will be able to taste at maturity. 97

  Decanted 1,5 hours, grewt wine but still young. Rose petals, lots of red berries, amazing long on the palate, it’s just keeps on going. Will be amazing in 5 years.

  Double decant, young of course but great potential. Drinking well now but will evolve. Not sure why some critics complains about this wine.

  Although quite young, of course, a seriously long decant of 5+ hours unleashed a glimpse of the magic of Giacosa red label. It’s incredibly aromatic and its stunning bouquet of rose petals, Christmas spices, plums, worn leather and a menthol freshness leap from the glass. A captivating perfume. On the palate it’s rich, intense and muscular, while at the same time showing elegance and grace in its weightless intensity. The finish is insanely long, seemingly going on for minutes, showing vibrance, lift and finely grained tannins. An outstanding Barolo with a long life ahead. ✨
