tannic profile

classy and should age beautifully

Of course there are tannins here

This was also relatively reduced and impossible to evaluate

(from vines planted mostly in 1949)

Paolo Scavino, Barolo Rocche Annunziata Riserva Vintage:2004 tannic profileEnrico 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
