licorice and wild sage

This too displays an unbelievably seductive nose of vanilla

A disappointment

There is a modicum of light

This is oaky stuff today but it’s impressively stylish all the same and the underlying material is so good that this should harmonize with time

Luigi Oddero, Barolo Rocche Rivera Size:6x750ml licorice and wild sageThe 2014 Barolo Rocche Rivera(from the Scarrone cru) packs a serious punch in its deceptively midweight frame. Sweet red cherry, kirsch, hard candy, wild flowers and mint make a strong first impression before the firm 2014 Nebbiolo tannins kick in. Today, the Rocche Rivera is a bit rough around the edges and a touch wild, but it is certainly not lacking in personality. Antonio Galloni
