Roberto Voerzio : Rocche dell'Annunziata Torriglione 2008

Le Barolo Rocche dell'Annunziata / Torriglione 2008 impressionne par ses tanins soyeux et sa texture très fine. Le palais est riche et la douceur magnifique pour correspondre à son beau bouquet expressif. Le style est un peu masculin mais très beau. La finale est sensationelle. RobertoVoerzio présente un Barolo aromatique, très classique avec un soupcon d'austérité légère dans la structure. Très doux, c'est le plus séduisant du millésime mais mérite encore quelques années de garde.

Wine Advocate-Parker :
The 2008 Barolo Rocche dell'Annunziata/Torriglione impresses for its silky tannins and overall textural finesse. It shows striking mid-palate richness and gorgeous inner sweetness to match its beautifully delineated, expressive bouquet. Stylistically it is a bit on the masculine side, but very beautiful just the same. Layers of flavor build to the huge, dramatic finish. The Rocche presents a very classic aromatic and flavor profile backed up by serious heft and structure. It is the sweetest and most seductive of the 2008s. Readers will need to be especially patient, though. The Rocche shuts down hard in the glass. It won't be an easy wine, but those who can wait will be handsomely rewarded. Anticipated maturity: 2018-2033.
