2015 - Baffonero Rosso, Rocca Frassinello

Tasting Notes

93
Vinous Antonio Galloni - 01 Apr 18
The 2015 Baffonero, the estate's 100% Merlot, is classy and polished from start to finish. Chocolate, plum and leather appear first, followed by beautifully lifted scents of star anise, white chocolate, orange peel and spice. Stylistically, the 2015 is quite a bit more restrained than most prior vintages. It will be interesting to see if that is reflection of the year or representative of where the wine will goi in coming vintages.
