wild fennel flowers and saffron on the nose

The 1999 Barolo Le Rocche del Falletto is a knock out

Strong reduction knocks down the nose

The 2016 Barolo Acclivi is a deep

Since 2002 there's been no Cabernet in the blend

Niepoort, Vintage Vintage:2007 wild fennel flowers and saffronRuby purple, a bit more saturated than the Secundum. Brooding aromas of crushed black fruits, licorice and spices. Very ripe, thick and dense, with compelling sweetness of fruit. Bright, integrated acids give this very lush, fleshy, palate coating wine excellent tensile strength. Finishes impressively long and bright, with finely grained, mouthdusting tannins. This has a terrific kernel of fruit and a three dimensional palate feel. Stephen Tanzer
