The score for 2000 Falletto di Bruno Giacosa Le Rocche del Falletto Riserva Barolo DOCG is 100 points from Wine Spectator and the tasting note - Fabulous purity of crushed fruit - strawberries and raspberries, with hints of fresh roses. Full-bodied, with an amazing concentration and a palate that goes on and on and on. Ultraripe tannins. This is the Romanée-Conti of Barolo. Terrific balance and richness. From selected parcels in Giacosa's Falletto vineyard. First made in 1997.
