2006 BAROLO Vigneto Rocche Andrea Oberto

2006 BAROLO Vigneto Rocche Andrea Oberto

Grapes: Nebbiolo  Origin: Italy, Piedmont
Lea & Sandeman review
The 'cru' Rocche is grown over a sand based soil, giving wines of greater perfume, finesse and subtlety, and this is possibly Oberto's greatest wine. Still very tight (given sixteen months in new oak) but the wine is wonderfully resonant and goes on in the mouth for an age. It simply needs time in bottle to become more expansive.

Other reviews and comments
The 2006 Barolo Vigneto Rocche is the alter-ego of the Brunate. Where the Brunate is powerful the Rocche is refined, where the Brunate is intense, the Rocche is subtle. Floral red fruits, menthol and minerals are some of the notes that emerge from this high-toned, aromatic Barolo. The aromas and flavors seem to resonate off each other like voices in a cathedral, creating a sensation of endless discovery as the wine opens up in the glass. The structure of the vintage comes through on the energetic, vibrant finish. Here, too, patience is key, but this is shaping up to be another magnificent Barolo from Oberto. Anticipated maturity: 2016-2026.   93/100
Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate
Lush,powerful cherry, spice, violet, ripe red berry, earth and coffee aroma. Lively, vibrant fruit with elegant tannins, good depth and complex layers. Lots of spice and vigour thanks to fine acidity. Drink: 2012-2019. Decanter Award 5*****
