Monforte d’Alba. Deep ruby with small orange rim. Intense and opulent with a touch bacon. Rich dried fruit with elegant palate weight. Crunchy, sweet tannin. Quite a charmer. Seems to mature quickly? (WS)

The 2008 Barolo Rocche is gorgeous. Dark plums, cherries, mocha, licorice and spices are some of the many nuances that come together in the glass. The 2008 is a dark, sumptuous Rocche endowed with lovely juiciness and terrific overall balance. Hints of French oak linger on the close. This is a very pretty Barolo that impresses for its layered, finessed personality.

Score 91/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, Nov 2011

Good bright medium red. Sexy aromas of red cherry, licorice, underbrush, camphor and minerals; higher-pitched than the 2007. Suave and fine-grained, with nicely integrated acidity giving shape and energy to the flavors of plum, tobacco and mocha. Broad tannins and sound acids carry the finish.
