Feb. 02, 2013 VIETTI Barolo Rocche 2008 (95 points, $130)

Appealing aromas of flowers, cherry and raspberry take on tobacco and leather flavors as this crosses the palate. Rich and round, with a supple texture, this is firmly structured, offering a fine aftertaste of fruit and mineral. Will need time to unwind. Best from 2017 through 2035. 320 cases made. —Bruce Sanderson
