The only thing it needs is a few more years in the bottle

A whiff of wood is present on the expressive and vaguely exotic nose that offers up notes of algae

and it's really interesting to be able to taste (and drink

minerally and bone dry finish that displays distinct citrus mineral nuances

pomegranate and hints of rose petal

Mauro Veglio, Riserva other_regions_italy The only thing it needsThe 2019 Barolo Riserva Rocche Dell'Annunziata pours a dark red brick color and offers a concentrated and very ripe profile, with notes of baked plums, melding spices, leather, balsamic, and resinous chewing tobacco. Full bodied, it fills the palate with a deep, savory feel, fleshy tannins, and a grounding and ripe persistent finish. For my taste, its lacking in freshness, but it should hold up over the next 10 years.
