Nose is dense soft cherry. Some library book. A light perfume. Cherry flower. Captivating.
Palate is perfect cherry fruit. Just a kiss of cherry liquor. Stunning. Internal aromatics are cherry cherry flower spice
Elite finish. That spice liquor cherry liquor dense lingering thing. Wow.

(18/20) Сложный и насыщенный аромат с нотами молочного шоколада, ванильного мороженого, спелой вишни и клубники. Великолепная, сбалансированная структура, мягкие бархатистые, обволакивающие таннины. Долгое послевкусие. Мечта! — 9 years ago

Great! A plum and leather with smoke (from smokehouse). But, I think, the acidity is the key. Like a final touch. — 4 years ago
Excellent. Drank the 1985 in 2021 for my 36th birthday. The color was still good, the nose was wonderful, the legs were as slow as molasses. Great wood notes. When we opened it, we did break the cork. The cork was longer than usual and longer than our screw. It was salvaged with a chopstick and there was only one speck of cork found in the wine. Incredibly low sediment for the age — maybe a shot glass of sediment was left in the bottle when we tipped it. — 5 years ago
We are at Machiavel, just next door to Clover Grill in Paris. Rocche dei Manzoni is a great Barolo producer. This is their basic Barolo, and we love it. Good length, polished tannins and freshly cut flowers with lots of red and dark fruits. Excellent now and can age well for a few years as well. Good stuff ! — 6 years ago
Great well aged langhe nebbiolo. Certainly quite secondary at this point. Lots of bricking in the glass. Mushrooms and decaying leaves in a good way. Smooth, mouth filling, and good acid. — 8 years ago
Very good wine. A scent of dried fruits. Spicy taste. Alcoholic aftertaste. — 9 years ago
2011 was simply great after a little air. Highly Recommended. — 9 years ago
Nice barbaresco with a good bit of bottle age, but I fear we opened it too early and therefore it was not showing its best. Even with a 4 hour decant the nose was quite closed. Still would certainly have identified nebbiolo blind - the color, the nose, and the palate are quite traditional. Great acid holding things together at the end, and a long finish with quite integrated tannins. Nice but below expectations. Our only bottle - suggest holding a couple more years. — 4 years ago

Very dark ruby color. Called Big d’ Big for a reason. Bold aromas of violets, pot pourri, leather and dark cherry. Intense flavors of black berry/cherry, figs, vanilla and baking spices. Firm tannins, full bodied and medium-plus acidity. Pretty well balanced. Aged in large barriques. This is a style of Barolo (very fruit forward) more suited to New World wine drinkers. Quite good.
