  The first nose was strange. Little like a bad cell. The wine need long aeration to get that smell away. Wonder if it was the bottle??

  The nose of ‘15 Le Rocchette was wonderfully perfumed, showing crushed cherries offset by savory spices, minerals, and dark wood tones. On the palate, I found silky textures contrasted by stern acids, sour cherry, and minerals. Sweet botanicals and inner florals added lift and created a remarkably pretty expression, as the wine finished on structured refinement and dried red fruits. There’s a lot in store for the patient collector with a cellar, as the ‘15 wants a few more years in bottle.
