Score: ✧✧✧✧✧ |
Simply a great wine. This Roero shows a beautiful and intense ruby red
color and nuances of ruby red, little transparency. The nose reveals
personality with intense, clean, pleasing, refined and elegant aromas
which start with good hints of black cherry, plum and violet followed by
intense and good aromas of blueberry, blackberry, tobacco, thyme,
licorice, menthol, vanilla and pleasing hints of black pepper and
cinnamon. In the mouth has excellent correspondence to the nose, a
slightly tannic and pleasingly round attack, however well balanced by
alcohol, full body, intense flavors, good tannins, agreeable. The finish
is very persistent with long and good flavors of black cherry, plum and
blueberry. A great wine. Roche d'Ampsej ages for 20-22 months in cask
followed by one year of aging in bottle.
