Didier Depond

A smoky and beautifully layered nose is composed of notably ripe yellow fruit

The palate is very well balanced with fine grain tannins

Once again there is excellent richness to the caressing yet overtly powerful broad-shouldered flavors that aren’t massive though they certainly don’t lack for substance

Mauro Veglio, Riserva other_regions_italy Didier DepondThe 2019 Barolo Riserva Rocche Dell'Annunziata pours a dark red brick color and offers a concentrated and very ripe profile, with notes of baked plums, melding spices, leather, balsamic, and resinous chewing tobacco. Full bodied, it fills the palate with a deep, savory feel, fleshy tannins, and a grounding and ripe persistent finish. For my taste, its lacking in freshness, but it should hold up over the next 10 years.
