Paolo Scavino - Barolo Rocche dell'Annunziata Riserva 2015 (750ml)
James Suckling: 98 Points
Very intense blackberry and blueberry character with sliced-mushroom and tree-bark undertones. Porcini mushrooms really set the tone here. It?s full-bodied with powerful tannins that come through the fantastic fruit. Lots to see and understand here but it?s just opening now. One for the cellar. Try after 2025.

This is complex and fresh offering cherry strawberry sun-kissed hay eucalyptus and mineral flavors. Seems to be closing down with dense tannins prevailing on the finish yet there's also energy and length. Be patient. Best from 2024 through 2043. 508 cases made 203 cases imported.

The Paolo Scavino 2015 Barolo Rocche dell'Annunziata Riserva is a broad and amply fleshed out expression from a warm and sunny vintage. The fruit shows ripeness and an open-knit texture. To the palate the wine reveals thickness and ample depth with lots of dried cherry and blackberry to maintain that robust center of gravity. Fruit comes from La Morra and you get some characteristic rusty nail and dried violet as well. Published: Jun 17 2021

The 2015 Barolo Rocche dell'Annunziata is gracious perfumed and beautifully lifted - in other words classic Rocche dell'Annunziata. Crushed rose petal raspberry blood orange mint and cinnamon lend captivating aromatic presence to this silky mid-weight Barolo. All the elements are so nicely balanced. This is an especially gracious understated style for Scavino. Best of all the 2015 will drink well with minimal cellaring. (Drink between 2025-2040)
