Note di degustazione
Azelia's 2000 Barolo San Rocco has held up quite well. Smoke, tar, licorice, leather and dark fruit are some of the aromas and flavors that meld together in this fresh, exquisitely layered Barolo. The San Rocco possesses gorgeous complexity and fine overall balance. Mint, flowers and licorice add the final layers of complexity.

The 2000 Barolo San Rocco has aged gracefully. Smoke, tar, licorice, leather and dark fruit are some of the aromas and flavors that meld together in this fresh, exquisitely layered Barolo. The San Rocco possesses gorgeous complexity and fine overall balance. Mint, flowers and licorice add the final layers of complexity. Anticipated maturity: 2011-2020. Proprietor Luigi Scavino is one of the few producers who routinely turns out wines that are delicious upon release and that can also be cellared.
Medium red. Aromas of plum and spicy oak. Sweet flavors of plum, marzipan and oak. Showed good texture and depth to support its wood, but still comes across as rather sweet-oaky in character. The initially sweet tannins showed a dry oaky edge with aeration. In an awkward stage today.
Extremely lively – great lift. Sweet start with admirable complexity. Masses of tannin – very chewy, but not overwhelming the fruit. Again, a wine with integrity and a true expression of place. (JR)
