In the mouth

(89-91)/2020+

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

with fine harmony and a lingering aftertaste of ripe fruit

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

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.
