The 1999 Barolo Rocche, which sees only casks, no barrels, to bring out the fragrant aromatic character of the cru, is light in color, subtle, wafting, and complex on the nose with roses, tar, and anise. The soft, sensual texture, the ample volume, and the sweet, chocolaty finish are very true to type. Anticipated maturity: 2005-2018. Importer: Remy Amerique, New York, NY; tel. (800) 358-6002
