2017 Rocche Costamagna Barolo

Description

93   James Suckling
“Very perfumed with roses and ripe strawberries on the nose. A hint of ash. It’s full-bodied with chewy tannins and a flavorful finish. Structured young wine. Needs a few years. Try after 2023.” (7/2021)

92   Bruce Sanderson for Wine Spectator
“Ripe and velvety, this red evokes cherry, plum, licorice, leather and tar flavors. Firm and still a bit taut now, yet nicely balanced and should stretch out with a few years of aging. A touch of spice emerges on the finish. Best from 2024 through 2042. 800 cases made, 250 cases imported.” (11/2021)
