Tasting notes
(the estate's base Barolo): Medium red. Sweet, loamy aromas of red raspberry, menthol and caramel oak. Sweet, soft and easy, with inviting red fruit perfume. Not especially complex but supple and vinous. This midweight Barolo finishes with a fine dusting of sweet tannins.

The 2007 Barolo Rocche is a seriously plush, authoritative wine. It flows onto the palate with marvelous depth in its dark fruit. Sweet, rich and enveloping through to the finish, the Rocche is a terrific entry-level Barolo from Rocche dei Manzoni. Hints of mocha and sweet spices add the final layers of complexity.

The 2007 Barolo Vigna d’la Roul explodes onto the palate with masses of dark fruit, mocha, spices, licorice and tar, showing considerable muscle. Despite its size, the wine possesses tons of textural finesse in the expansive style of the year. I loved it. Anticipated maturity: 2017-2027. Oct 2011, www.robertparker.com
