This is often Taupenot’s best 1er and in 2015 it is again with its brooding aromas of spice

but manages to deliver - and then some

Tasted at the BI Wines & Spirits 10-Year On tasting

it is impossible to resist

Bruno Giacosa, Barolo Vigna Rocche Riserva (Red Label) Vintage:2017 This is often Taupenot’s bestThe 2000 Barolo Riserva Le Rocche del Falletto is soft and quite open in feel. It also shows a slightly roasted quality it has always had that is a hallmark of this warm vintage. Sweet red cherry, smoke, leather and tobacco add shades of nuance throughout. Although not likely to be a long term ager by Giacosa standards, the 2000 is quite enjoyable tonight. Antonio Galloni
