Such a vibrant, powerful young wine, 16 years young. I plan to save the next bottle for a minimum of five years.
Exuberant nose of shoe polish, black cherry, leather, vanilla, earth. My Italian table mate said it reminded him of the Italian countryside (he said Italian shrubs).
Palate very dry, high acidity, high coarse tannins with years left in them, high alcohol (15%), full body, long finish.
Drink now or cellar for greater enjoyment on the future.

Decanted. Dark Plum, deep dark cherry. Has the backbone and deep flavors of a fine wine. Hint of oak is there but so well integrated and balanced it is seamless. Power and elegance make this the complete package.

FWSG tasting. Drank in Conterno Sensory.
Cloudy and sediment. Garnet colour.
Oxidized, caramel and nuts. Autumnal and tea leaves.
