Rocca Felice
Barbaresco Nebbiolo
Barbaresco, Cuneo, Piedmont, Italy
I bought this 2009 vintage in 2013 and opened it almost 10 years later. It is very smooth, with complex flavors that I can’t describe (forgive me, poetic writing is not my strength). The color has mellowed to an amber-red. Lovely.

Leather, caramelized fennel, anise, smoke...so many flavors coming through. At only $30 a bottle, this is a steal for what usually is $50-$100 more for this barbaresco.

Needs about five more years. A bit more rustic than the 08 Barolo, with more emphasis on spice from oak and balance of fruit and tannins.
