Note di degustazione
Just mid ruby with orange tinge. Lifted cherry and oak, but much more vibrant on the palate, but with the fruit still locked in. Waves of fine grainy tannin. Lovely elegant palate weight and a light creaminess on the finish. Fine and seductive and still very young. (WS)

La Morra. Impenetrable dark. Lifted, raspberry compote nose. Intense and at the same time so very lightweight on the palate. Grating tannin cutting through the sweet concentration. Obvious, but well-handled oak. (WS)
Dark red. Dark fruits, violet, licorice and menthol on the tight nose. Very deep and powerfully structured, with a youthful toughness to the flavors of black cherry, violet and mint. Drier and much more backward than the 2005 version, finishing with granular, mouthclenching tannins and superb length. This will need another decade in the cellar. Will it ever offer the aromatic complexity of the 2005?
The 2006 Barolo Riserva Rocche dell'Annunziata is compelling in its open-knit, floral bouquet of freshly cut roses, cherries and raspberries. Sweet, round and perfumed, the wine possesses and appealing combination of elegance wedded to power. Layers of inner perfume continue to develop in the glass, showcasing the unique qualities of one of Piedmont's top sites. This is an immensely promising Barolo from Scavino with several decades of fine drinking ahead. Today the 2006 comes across as more muscular than the decidedly refined 2004.
