Bruno Giacosa Le Rocche del Falletto Riserva Barolo Nebbiolo 2000
Fabulous purity of crushed fruit - strawberries and raspberries, with hints of fresh roses. Full-bodied, with an amazing concentration and a palate that goes on and on and on. Ultraripe tannins. This is the Romanee-Conti of Barolo. Terrific balance and richness. From selected parcels in Giacosa's Falletto vineyard. First made in 1997. Best after 2012. Wine Spectator

Had it March 2009. It took half an hour to say something, Before it was only a black olive pate smell, after very sour cherry and ribes, iron , forest floor, rose petals, lipstick, red flowers, very flowery. Fantastic mouth, full but driven by the freshness, outstanding silky tannin, super long!!! What a 2000. Ready now, but don't be scare to cellar it for more than a decade.

VA is pronounced. Side by side with Giacosa 00 Barbaresco. Modern in intensity but not extract. This wine will outlive many but still not loving this entirely.

Drinking lovely already. Very indicative of the vintage. Going to become even more of a superstar in years to come!

Think I love the long finish the most with these wines, just lingers. Soft tannins with floral notes -rose- tobacco. This wine wasn’t as intense as I hoped but still beautiful.

Lots of red fruits, tar, balsamic, licorice, very floral, elegant, a wine of finesse.
