The nose is sweet

The aromas are fresh

The fruit is dried up

This is packed

The mouthfeel is fleshy and generous and there is plenty of backbone here to carry the wine forward throughout the years

Rocche Dei Manzoni, Barolo Vigna Roul Vintage:2001 The nose is sweetThe 2001 Barolo Vigna d la Roul is the most classic of these 2001 Barolos. It reveals phenomenal balance in its layers of dark cherries, violets, tar, new leather, sweet toasted oak and mentholated, balsamic overtones that develop in the glass. This massively structured, large scaled Barolo reveals an unusual amount of detail for such a big wine. It will require considerable patience, but will offer much pleasure to those who can wait.
