Arlaud, Morey Saint Denis Cheseaux other_regions_australia The 2015 Barolo Rocche dell'Annunziata

The 2015 Barolo Rocche dell'Annunziata is laced with the essence of crushed raspberry

richness and power if a bit less refinement to the intensely mineral-inflected flavors that culminate in a wonderfully refreshing

Composed of 44% Pinot Noir

firm and grainy with an amazing backbone of freshness supporting all that tightly wound

Arlaud, Morey Saint Denis Cheseaux other_regions_australia The 2015 Barolo Rocche dell'Annunziata(from 30+ year old vines). Firm reduction once again flattens the underlying fruit. The delicious, vibrant and beautifully well delineated flavors possess a plush mid palate texture that also contrasts with the compact, raspy and moderately short finish. This too is a bit of a question mark as to how it will react to the bottling so please note that my estimated range offers the benefit of the doubt.
