The mouth feel is beautifully refined and even silky with the outstanding complexity

Chewy and impressively concentrated

80% Tempranillo (aged in 4-year-old American oak for 36 months) and 20% Garnacha (aged in 2- to 3-year-old American oak for 30 months)

This isn’t quite as structured as the Pucelles but it is still sufficiently prominent to make evident that here too patience will be rewarded

Just very slightly austere

Luigi Oddero, Barolo Rocche Rivera other_regions The mouth feel is beautifullyThe 2014 Barolo Rocche Rivera(from the Scarrone cru) packs a serious punch in its deceptively midweight frame. Sweet red cherry, kirsch, hard candy, wild flowers and mint make a strong first impression before the firm 2014 Nebbiolo tannins kick in. Today, the Rocche Rivera is a bit rough around the edges and a touch wild, but it is certainly not lacking in personality. Antonio Galloni
