Renato Ratti Barolo Rocche 2005

Dark cherry, dried rose, Mediterranean herbs and a cedary oak spine, the Rocche vineyard showing its pedigree in a strong vintage. Tannins are firm but well-integrated, softening as the wine breathes to reveal real depth and clarity of fruit. The florals lift persistently through a long, composed finish. Drinking well now but has the structure to reward further patience through 2030.
