Tasting Notes
Robert Parker 93+
The 2004 Barolo Rocche is simply beautiful. Super-ripe red fruits, sweet roses and spices emerge from this gorgeous Barolo. Silky tannins caress the fruit all the way through to the long, deeply satisfying finish. I can't remember the last time I tasted such an impeccably balanced and complete Barolo from Ratti. In 2004, the Rocche has it all! Antonio Galloni
Wine Spectator 91
Beautiful aromas of blackberry and mineral follow through to a full body, with very well-integrated tannins and chocolate, bright fruit and mineral on the finish. Long and gorgeous.
Steve Tanzer's International Wine Cellar 93
Full red-ruby. Wild black cherry and mocha on the explosive nose; this is downright Burgundian. Full, lush and broad; an outsized wine with terrific verve and sappy depth. Offers lovely purity of fruit, along with excellent volume, sweetness and balance. The tannins seem suaver than those of the Conca-or is there simply more buffering fruit and fat here? "We're finally getting body in this wine, through better control of vine yields and greater concentration," notes Pietro, who finds this vintage to be bigger than the '01 and comparable to the '98 Rocche, which he considers to be great. This is from a southwest-facing parcel planted on sandy soil, whereas the Conca faces southeast and features more blue clay. These vines are between 40 and 50 years of age.
