Far, far better (now) than the 2017, or 2020. Comparable to the Ravera. Big rose hit as soon as it opens. A bargain at $100 from Winestar. Only one, sadly. At home with Curly. — 5 days ago

Third and last bottle of this. I don’t want to like it as much as I do because it’s 15% alcohol. But it’s a big, boisterous glassful, with lots of ripe macerated cherry, leather, and gravel on the nose, with a whiff of camphor. Mouthfilling and soft on the palate, this acids are relatively low but it’s still got nice balance for current drinking. A fair amount of tannin is buried under the cascade of fruit. Not super complex, but a satisfying accompaniment to pork cutlets Parmigiana, and a good value.

UPDATE: Night 2, a pruney, overripe character takes over. My recommendation is to drink soon and with minimal air time. — 3 months ago

Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of dinner. The 2019 “Roccalini” pours a garnet color with a transparent core; medium+ viscosity with no staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with gorgeous notes of ripe Morello cherry, raspberry, roses, new leather, dried orange peel, dried green herbs, a touch of anisette and dried gravelly earth. On the palate, the wine is bone dry with high tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long and savory. IIRC, before Paolo started making wine under his own label, the fruit from Roccalini used to go to Giacosa. Regardless, the quality and character is special which is why it is consistently one of my favorites in all of Barbaresco. Now, if only I had more access to it. Maybe @Lyle Fass can do something about it? Drink now through 2039+. — 4 months ago

A Barolo for the yearners. Myself I had high expectations for this drop. Here's a small descriptor- the flavors are commending & perfectly respectable ,alas slightly cloying. — 3 months ago
