one of the greatest examples of this cuvee

Heavy reduction blocks the nose though it's possible to discern that beneath the funk lies very ripe fruit

impressively endowed finish

good minerality

It's a very fine wine

Bruno Rocca Barbaresco Maria Adelaide - 2011 (750ml) 1997 one of the greatest examplesBlood orange, exotic spices, mint and bright red stone fruits are some of the many notes that emerge from Rocca's 2011 Barbaresco Maria Adelaide. Sensual, ripe and voluptuous, the 2011 Maria Adelaide captures the essence of the Bruno Rocca house style. The 2011 spent 18 months in French oak barrels, 70% new, which is very much felt. Fans of the Maria Adelaide should take note that there is no 2012, but there will be a 2013. Vinous 93 points
