The 2006 Barolo San Rocco is sensual and enveloping. It's hard to know where to start with the San Rocco as fruit acidity and structure are all beautifully integrated and refined. Still incredibly young the wine will require a bit of patience but the purity of the fruit is impossible to miss even at this early stage. The finish alone is eternal.

Azelia's San Rocco Barolo is a stupendous wine with impressive intensity and generous aromas of wild berries licorice white truffle menthol spice tar and leather. The tannins are firm and polished and the wine fades slowly leaving a pretty vanilla aftertaste. Hold until 2018. - M.L.
