February 1, 2007: EUPOSIA (editorial by Giuseppe Poli). Our 2002 Tenuta Rocca Barolois rated among the best with the following tasting notes (score 85/100) Garnet red in colour. At first, notes of wood and spices arise, giving space to delicate cherry and mint sensations. The taste is soft and made precious by a mineral touch. Of good freshness and medium structure. Tannins are slightly dry, but the persistance is good and very much focused on the fruit element.

86 points to our 2003 DOCG Tenuta Rocca Barolowith the followingcomment by James Suckling: A nice red, with plum and strawberry character, light cedar and a floral undertone. Medium bodied, with fine tannins and a medium finish. Best after 2008. 210 cases made. - (J.S.)
