This is Lot L033331E100008

the 2018 Cote Rotie la Cote Blonde features elegant hints of mixed herbs entwined around bold boysenberry fruit

fresh and even cool yet ripe liqueur-like red and black currant aromas that are liberally sprinkled with sauvage

flinty touches to the nose - it’s still extremely young - with green and red apple notes and some clear slate and wet stone minerality

Bruno Giacosa, Barolo Vigna Rocche Riserva (Red Label) Vintage:2014 This is Lot L033331E100008The 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
