Eye: pale garnet Nose: M+, red fruit, dried rose, earthy Mouth: acidity M+, tannin M+, int M+, red fruit, tea Finish: elegant, beautiful and superlong finish. A well made wine, maybe a little to young. Give it at least 10 more years, if you can wait.

July 4th Mondo Event (Atlanta, GA): Tasted blind. This is an intoxicating Barolo with an incredible sinus opening explosion in the glass. Who needs Vick's Vapo Rub, when you can just pop open a bottle of Conterno. Well integrated tannin. This bottle has aged well. If this is what all Barolo tasted like, I would drink it more often.

Really powerful and massive and fruity, even still. Frankly, if I had any, I still leave it down in the cellar. I think this one is on the 20 year Barolo plan!
A gorgeous wine that I have been sitting on for a while. My son wanted something classic and old world for his college graduation so I found this beauty. Turned out to be a great choice as it was his favorite wine of all time. Could not be happier to hear that. Unfortunately I did not take detailed notes, but the memories of the night will last forever.

Very nice Barolo, not too structured, good evolution. A true pleasure with piccata al limone
