Tasting date

It is another superb Barolo from Giacomo Conterno

As with the rest of the 2014s

with a peppery nuance adding bite and a sexy floral note building in the glass

The old vines are very much in evidence as there is a true abundance of palate soaking dry extract that imparts a velvety mouth feel to the mid palate and buffers the very firm tannins on the youthfully austere, complex and hugely long finish. This is seriously impressive. (93 96) 2026+
