The 2012 Barolo Rocche is more advanced in terms of its overall evolution. The bouquet offers dried cherry, plum, dark spice and tobacco. The bouquet presents moderate intensity (this lower aromatic threshold is common to many of the Barolos from this vintage), and the quality of fruit is slightly more aged and spicy as a result. Smooth tannins and firm consistency characterize the mouthfeel. This Nebbiolo offers near and medium-term drinking potential.
