this is in no danger of falling apart but I foresee the balance becoming more fragile

55pretty incredible when you consider the alcohol is nearly 15%

(from vines planted mostly in 1949)

The nose speaks primarily of plum and floral aromas that are in keeping with the sappy

Paolo Scavino, Barolo Rocche Annunziata Riserva Vintage:2004 this is in no dangerEnrico Scavinos 1990 Barolo Riserva Rocche dellAnnunziata (magnum), here in its first vintage, is a great example of the modern school of Barolo. Silky tannins frame a core of expressive red berries, crushed flowers and sweet spices. As outstanding as this magnum is, it doesnt quite reach the heights of a magnum I tasted a few months ago, and both were from the same case. Sometimes, thats just the way it goes. Antonio Galloni
