Tasting notes
Vietti's 2008 Barolo Rocche is once again stellar. What a wine. Intensely aromatic and racy, with beautifully layered fruit, the 2008 is a superb example of this great Barolo vintage. Sweet red cherry, plum, hard candy and spices give the 2008 much of its perfumed, silky personality. 98/100 (07.2016) - vinous.com
I have had the 2008 Barolo Rocche many times over the last few years and it has never been anything less that impressive. Above all else, the 2008 seems to still be growing. Intensely sweet and nuanced, the 2008 is utterly captivating. The greatness of some vintages is immediately evident. Others take a bit more time to fully reveal themselves. My impression is that the 2008 Rocche is still on the ascent. Tonight, it is one of the most magnificent wines at the table. 97/100 (05.2016)
