My only real criticism of Roederer is the estates insistence on using lot numbers that resemble missile launch codes in their complexity

2004 and 2005 Monfortinos

just a matter of taste

Azelia, Barolo San Rocco Vintage:2007 the wine carries us alongThe 2006 Barolo San Rocco is sensual and enveloping. It s hard to know where to start with the San Rocco, as fruit, acidity and structure are all beautifully integrated and refined. Still incredibly young, the wine will require a bit of patience, but the purity of the fruit is impossible to miss even at this early stage. The finish alone is eternal.
