BRUNO GIACOSA BAROLO LE ROCCHE DEL FALLETTO DI SERRALUNGA D’ALBA 2005

Piedmont.
u. 2 x bn. 1 x stained label.

The 2005 Barolo Falleto Vigna Le Rocche is a massive, towering Barolo loaded with tons of rich, primary fruit. The wine remains powerful, dense and muscular with superb length even if it is a smaller-scaled Barolo compared to previous great vintages. That said, when I came back to the wine after it had been in the glass for an hour or so, I found that the wine had grown remarkably. While the 2005 doesn’t have the explosive personality of the 2004, it remains an awesome achievement in this vintage. April 2008 Drink to 2035 WA 96+
