Lot 430 Details
ANDREA OBERTO BAROLO VIGNETO ROCCHE 2004
Piedmonte.

The estate’s 2004 Barolo Vigneto Rocche bursts from the glass with a richly-textured expression of ripe red cherries, menthol and tar. There is superb balance in all the wine’s elements; the French oak is used masterfully, and the wine’s structural components meld seamlessly with the fruit and aromatics. The wine shows outstanding persistence, not to mention uncommon grace on the finish. This rich, concentrated Barolo needs a few years to settle down, but it is undoubtedly a stunning effort. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2024. 95 WA
