Very dark ruby. Wonderful aromas of roses, blackberry, violet and licorice. Full-bodied, with velvety tannins and lots of juicy fruit. Turns to fresh mushroom on the finish. Balanced and pretty. Just coming around.--1997 Italian blind retrospective. Drink now. 250 cases made. –JS

The 1997 Barolo Riserva Rocche dell’Annunziata is a deep garnet. Its full-barreled aromas of cinnamon, plums, and cedar announce flavors of superior ripeness and sweetness. Plush and sensual with an inner core of strength and length, and a gratifying finish of melting, mouth-coating tannins, it should be drunk between 2005-2018.
