The 2006 Barolo San Rocco is sensual and enveloping

I had the opportunity to retaste the wonderful 2015 Hermitage and have taken this opportunity to up my rating of it a couple of points

reine claude (greengage) and elderflower

A slightly riper and more complex nose of very earthy and slightly sauvage dark berry fruit aromas set of by a touch of wood spice leads to dense and attractively textured medium-full flavors that possess a seductive mouth feel and I like the subtle sense of harmony as this is balanced

The attack is discreet but tannins soon kick in, while the sweet core of fruit comes to the surface thanks to fine acidity. A light touch and long, spicy finish.
