Azelia Barolo San Rocco 2001
The '01 San Rocco is dark red. Aromas of black cherry syrup, strawberry, smoke, and road tar, with hints of herbs and brush leap from the glass. Velvety and sweetly ripe on the mid-palate with no angularity. Great complexity all the way through the ripely tannic and smokey finish. Wine Spectator Very concentrated and complex on the nose with blackberry, dark chocolate and toasted oak aromas. Full-bodied and very ripe, with loads of fruit and a long, caressing finish. A powerful and rich wine. Builds on the palate. Best after 2009. Score: 95. —James Suckling, October 15, 2005.Wine Advocate Azelia's best-known wine may be the Bricco Fiasco, but in 2001 as in other recent vintages I find the San Rocco even more compelling. It is more intense and masculine in its expression of Serralunga terroir, with a complex nose of smoke, scorched earth, minerals and spices. As it sits in the glass the wine opens, gradually revealing notes of rich dense dark fruit with plenty of structure, finishing with broad yet fine tannins and tremendous overall balance. It is an immensely satisfying modern-styled Barolo. Anticipated maturity: 2009-2016. Score: 93. —Antonio Galloni, October 2006. All sizes are 750mL unless otherwise noted. |
