Meyney Vintage:2016 The 2000 Barolo Riserva Le

The 2000 Barolo Riserva Le Rocche del Falletto is soft and quite open in feel

it is savory in the mouth and is drinking now

There is muscle here but essentially this is a Charmes of refinement though the hugely long finish is explosive

juicy tannins

This displays enough Nuits character to remain true to the terroir yet there is virtually no rusticity

Meyney Vintage:2016 The 2000 Barolo Riserva LeThe 2010 Meyney is a superb follow up to the 2009, perhaps displaying more definition to the dusky black fruit, sous bois, graphite and pressed rose petal scents that burst from the glass. The palate is medium bodied with fine grained tannins, a clean line of acidity and more precision on the finish compared to the previous vintage. Excellent. Tasted at a vertical at Chteau Meyney.
