Community Tasting Note

Derek Darth Taster Likes this wine:

Friday, September 3, 2021 - From the restaurant cellar over lunch at Valentino. Decanted half the bottle and kept the other half to explore again at home in Conterno Sensory.
Appearance is clear, pale intensity, ruby colour. Legs.
Nose is clean, medium+ intensity, with aromas of young floral roses, sweet fresh tar, ripe red fruits, emerging earth with more air. Developing.
On the palate, dry, high acidity, medium+ alcohol (14.5%), supple ripe high tannins, full body. Medium+ flavour intensity, with flavours of red plums, ripe red cherries, licorice, sweet tar, emerging stony earth. Long finish. After ~18 hours of air, vanilla oak on palate more obvious but overall I would still say pretty well managed, like generous icing on the cake. A refined Barolo.
Very good quality. Prefer it pop and pour at the moment, if ageing, maybe some years for the oak on palate to integrate in nicely.
