Bruno Giacosa Le Rocche del Falletto Riserva Barolo Nebbiolo 2007

$555

The 2007 Barolo Riserva Le Rocche del Falletto bursts onto the palate with masses of dark fruit. The Riserva is a decidedly dark, brooding wine in this vintage. Scorched earth, smoke, menthol, licorice and new leather flow with marvelous intensity all the way through to the powerful finish. Over time the classic Giacosa bouquet of dried rose petal emerges, rounding out this fabulous effort in grand style... Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

Amazing wine. While of course still young, the magic of the red label from the master in ‘07 was in full form tonight wafting a captivating bouquet of Christmas spices, rose pedals, licorice, worn leather and a menthol freshness. A stunning perfume. The palate shows incredible richness and density yet without weight nor heat, and the most luxurious of textures that wraps around the mouth before its multi-minute finish. Wow.

Inexcusably young to be drinking now, but this has all the stuffing and nuance even now.

An hour or two of air and it blossoms. Perfect right now - truly a great Barolo.

Young but clearly a long haul wine. Bright nose, rose, cherry, menthol. Long finish but not heavy in any way at all. Red Label, few do it better.
