Rocche Dei Manzoni, Barolo Vigna Roul other_regions_italy this Barolo shows a darklyThe 2001 Barolo Vigna d la Roul is the most classic of these 2001 Barolos. It reveals phenomenal balance in its layers of dark cherries, violets, tar, new leather, sweet toasted oak and mentholated, balsamic overtones that develop in the glass. This massively structured, large scaled Barolo reveals an unusual amount of detail for such a big wine. It will require considerable patience, but will offer much pleasure to those who can wait.
