This 2018 Rocche Costamagna Barolo has a softly rounded nose with ripe red fruits, some strawberry sweetness and a little dark spice. It is round and smooth with a slightly bitter olive note but this is not unattractive. It feels quite warm and alcoholic on the finish. It is not hugely concentrated but is a well-made wine with some enticing notes. Drink now to 15 years.
