"Roagna’s 1993 Barolo Riserva La Rocca e La Pira spent a whopping eleven
and a half years in oak! Its tannins have mostly melted away, leaving a
sublime, ethereal Barolo redolent of dried roses, plums, prunes, baking
spices, leather, menthol and anise. It possesses outstanding balance
and enough underlying structure to drink well for another decade. The
opportunity to purchase an older, ready to drink vintage directly from
the producer doesn’t come around too often and Roagna should be
commended for making wines like this 1993 Barolo Riserva available. It
is a lovely effort. Anticipated maturity: 2007-2017." |
