"The 2005 Barolo Riserva 150 Anniversario Rocche-Villero, bottled only in magnum to celebrate the estate's 150th anniversary, has blossomed into a gorgeous wine. Ample, generous and inviting, the 2005 brings together the aromatics and sensuality of Rocche with the darker fruit and structural weight of Villero, a compelling combination, to say the least. The creamy, beautifully layered finish only adds to the wine's considerable appeal. Readers who own the 2005 are in for a real treat."

"Good full, bright red. Highly nuanced but reticent nose offers perfumed scents of raspberry, strawberry, dried flowers, earth, leather and game. Firm and extremely young, with a compelling balance of acidity and sweetness that should enable this beauty to evolve slowly in bottle. Finishes very long and youthful, with firm but ripe tannins, a suggestion of marzipan and excellent lift."
