A sappy, liqueur-like essence of fruit on the nose; hints at surmaturite Thick, silky and compellingly rich; an utterly seamless, lush wine that coats the entire palate yet somehow avoids heaviness. A dramatic Barolo that finishes with huge, sweet tannins and powerful, vibrant flavors of crystallized red fruits, flowers and camphor. This was the wine of the day at the marathon tasting I did of Barolo estates represented by superbroker Marc de Grazia, though it should be emphasized that it will not be bottled until late 2003. \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;\"\u003e94-97 points\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cfont face=\"Verdana\" size=\"1\"\u003eAntonio Galloni, Piedmont Report, May 2006\u003c\/font\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cfont face=\"Verdana\" size=\"-1\"\u003eDark ruby. The seductive 1999 Rocche is simply superb. It opens with a captivatingly expressive floral nose that melds seamlessly onto a vibrant palate packed with layers of perfumed dark red fruit and minerals, with exceptional length, fine tannins and a sweet, long finish. Although this Barolo will continue to evolve in the bottle it is nearly impossible to resist today. A recent bottle of the 1990 was youthful and full of life and I imagine that this 1999 will drink well to at least age 20, if not beyond. \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;\"\u003e95 points\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vins Rare","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46037254209775,"sku":"1094","price":149.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0707\/7140\/9135\/files\/Scavino_20Annunziata_201.jpg?v=1731311274","url":"https:\/\/vinsrare.com\/products\/1999-scavino-barolo-annunziata","provider":"Vins Rare","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
