Breathtaking. I'm so inexpressibly grateful to have had the chance to taste this. Was a little concerned we'd jumped the gun by 10+ years, but I'm thrilled to report that while it's got another half century of life in it, this wine has already shed enough baby fat and taken on enough secondary character to drink without compunction. It's still dense and chewy of course, but the quality of the tannin here is so mellifluously pure that I'm not about to apologize for enjoying it greedily. Petrichor, tobacco, cherry Ricola, menthol, and hoisin all make an appearance in an utterly beguiling nose. For a serralunga Barolo of this breeding at this age, the fruit and structure are downright inviting. I only wish I had more. — 16 days ago

Light, slightly fruity body up front, but hits with dry, leathery finish. Good with prosciutto and other Italian cured meats. — a month ago

So good. Still tannic and powerful, but drinking great with good structure. Cherry and leather primarily, but also nicely earthy. — 5 days ago

Vietti's 2014 Barolo Rocche di Castiglione is shaping up to be a modern-day classic. Piercing, intense and austere in the best sense of the word, the Rocche is a wine of laser-like focus that will leave Barolo lovers weak in the knees. Candied cherry, pomegranate, kirsch, rose petal and violet overtones give the 2014 its inner sweetness and captivating perfume. In a word: stunning. Don't miss it.
