The 2000 Barolo Rocche dell’Annunziata/Torriglione is one of the more structured and intense of these 2000s. A persistent underlying vein of minerality frames crushed red berries, licorice, freshly cut flowers and mint. The Rocche is another intensely perfumed Barolo endowed with superb intensity and fabulous overall balance. Anticipated maturity: 2015-2030. Roberto Voerzio’s 2000s are among the most successful wines of the vintage. That’s not terribly surprising given Voerzio’s virtually unparalleled track record of making profound wines that can age, even in the smallest of vintages. The 2000s are only now beginning to approach their early maturity. These remain beautiful, fresh Baroli that will deliver considerable pleasure for years to come.
