  Opened for 4 hours. Color is brick red with orange / brown rim. Very translucent. On the nose: Rose, strawberry and cherry. On the palate: Strawberry, rose and tar. Flavors are soft and refined. Tannins are there but not obtrusive. This is a very elegant wine.

  Medium weight, expressive palette but nose a little quiet.

  Bruno Rocca visit with Francesco Rocca (Rabajà, Barbaresco): Again, served blind. I did not pick this wine as a Currà. A darker colour than the 2012. Also a darker nose indicating more muscle and structure. Showing a phenolic lift and more dark spices. In the mouth, that structure and power come through. Also it's fairly closed, with fine grained but serious, grippy tannins. I was initially thinking 2011, but it couldn't have been that year, with this acidic spine. Returning to re-taste a little later it had opened a little, with some Currà elegance, but there was still plenty of tight iron clad structure. A lot of dry extract to this wine and it'll need 5-7 years cellar time, I'd imagine.
