As it usually is

The 2000 Barolo Riserva Le Rocche del Falletto is soft and quite open in feel

the 2012 has so much to offer

as animated as the 2015 with great precision and tension towards the finish

Dark ruby with some evolution

Paul Pillot, Chassagne Montrachet Grandes Ruchottes other_regions_italy As it usually isLike the Champ Gains this too is overtly floral in character with pretty and airy aromas of spice and citrus suffused white orchard fruit. There is a lovely sense of underlying tension to the lightly stony and chalky textured flavors that terminate in a linear, saline and chiseled finish. This lovely effort is like rolling small stones around in the mouth and a wine that should age gracefully over the mid term.
