Decanted for 4 hours. In a spectacular way at the moment. Tannins resolved. Elegance and restrained energy — 3 months ago
Brownish in color.
Pretty nose of dried fruits, coffee, black pepper, earth, light vegetables, tobacco leaf and herbs.
Medium bodied with medium plus acidity.
Dry on the palate with mild complexity.
Short finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cranberries.
Still a bit closed and tight, and needs time in the bottle to mature properly. Will continue to age nicely in the next 20 years.
I've had a few vintages of this wine and it shows best with a lot of age.
Rich, yet elegant. Tangy and interesting. A good food wine at the moment.
100% Nebbiolo grapes were for 5 years in oak barrels and concrete vats.
14% alcohol by volume.
90 points.

Opened a few hours prior to service and enjoyed over the course of an hour. The 1999 Le Rocche del Falletto pours a deep garnet color with a translucent core; medium+ viscosity with no staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with beautiful notes of black cherry, raspberry, roses, tar, talcum powder, dried herbs, a touch of leather, some gravelly earth and a kiss of warm spices. On the palate, the wine is bone dry with high tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the note. The finish is long. I know it’s splitting hairs but I think I preferred this over the ‘96 Asili Riserva that we enjoyed alongside. There just seemed to be a bit more oomf. A lovely pairing with controfiletto di wagyu. Drink now through 2049. — 6 days ago
