Wine Spectator - June 2008 - James Suckling - 93 points

Barolo Rocche dell'Annunziata Torriglione 2004 - Very perfumed, with intense aromas of plum and blackberry. Full-bodied, with well-integrated tannins and a long, silky-textured finish. There's lovely finesse and balance. Very refined for Voerzio. Best after 2011
