The 2017 San Rocco Barolo has more dark cherry-chocolate aromas. It seems to have a higher level of phenolic ripeness to me: the fruit aromas are more intense, in the foreground. There is substantial fine dry tannin. Other than tannin that will integrate with age, the texture is quite appealing. San Rocco isn’t overly heavy. It does showcase plenty of pristine ripe black currant fruit.
