(Giacomo Conterno Barolo Monfortino Riserva) Nose is somewhat reticent but if you sniff and move your glass around you get some roses, iron, spice, hazelnut & some hints of iodine. Very velvety texture and extreme concentration with some big-time clamping down tannins on the finish. The fruit is there but only hints at what is to come. Remarkable quality but when will this be ready?
