Paolo Scavino, Barolo Rocche Annunziata Riserva Vintage:2013 Living proof that fruit doesn’t

Living proof that fruit doesn’t always have to be the be all and end all of olfactory seduction

The 2011 Barolo Ornato is similarly rich and powerful

but then this is a legendary wine

Highlights how sure and confident was the winemaking at Haut-Bailly ten years on from Bob Wilmers arrival

There is enough reduction to render the nose difficult to evaluate though it does seem ripe

Paolo Scavino, Barolo Rocche Annunziata Riserva Vintage:2013 Living proof that fruit doesn’tEnrico 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
