Bid on this 3-bottle lot of 2016 Bruno Giacosa "Falletto Vigna Le Rocche'' Barolo Riserva (100JS, 98DC, 98RP, 98WS). James Suckling: "This is the second 100-point Vigna Le Rocche, following the 2015. What the former had in intensity of fruit and transparency, this has in structure and power. The purity of fruit is sensational in this young Barolo, offering blackberries, black truffle and iron. Rust too. This is so tannic and powerful with incredible structure. This may be the most structured Barolo from Bruno Giacosa I have ever tasted as a young wine. Speechless. Full-bodied and so intense, yet it remains fresh and agile. Traditional in every sense of the word, but this is clear and clean. A classic in the making. " (04/2020)

The 2016 vintage of Giacosa’s iconic red-label Riserva from the township of Serralunga, and specifically the oldest vines within the Falletto MGA, doesn’t disappoint. Mineral-driven notes of iron, iodine and incense are most definitely at the fore. They meld with rich earth, blackcurrant and just a hint of fennel. The palate is awash with imposing tannins, yet for all their firmness they infiltrate the palate with surprising grace, matched by a sumptuousness of fruit. Longlimbed, classy and enduring, this is one to squirrel away. (MM)
