2011 Azienda Agricola Ronchi di Giancarlo Rocca Barbaresco Nebbiolo
Excellent young barbaresco. Oodles of class and style, very accessible now but should have ten years' cellar time left for secondary development. All the notes on CT are similarly approving. It was so good that though I have four bottles left in the sixpack, I felt a sense of panic, and went looking for more. Found 11 (uh oh, that 11-thing) of the '12s on WineBid--but Cellar Tracker reviews are not encouraging re this vintage.
My wine shopping and I have never had a problem. Just a perpetual race between the bankruptcy court and Hell.--Rogov

'12 is not supposed to be a stellar vintage in Barbaresco, but the Produttori Normale is pretty darned good. I sense that '12 is getting poor marks for not being great. Probably not a (near) case purchase vintage though.
