cherry and licorice aromas and flavors

minerally and bone dry finish that displays distinct citrus mineral nuances

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

This is tight and closed to the point of being all but mute and only aggressive swirling coaxes shy notes of petrol

Currently showing some rigidity and firm rockiness on the nose

Mauro Veglio, Riserva other_regions_italy cherry and licorice aromas andThe 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.
