  Aldo Conterno Barolo Bussia 2018 was a perfect choice for the evening's mushroom pasta, three kinds of mushrooms, sour cream, white wine, chanterelle stock, garlic and truffle. I think the 2018 vintage continues to drink very well. Two hours in carafe, blood orange, anise, roses and tar. Red and black cherries, even raspberries are backed by a wonderful structure, the tannins are fundamental. The only thing is that the alcohol comes through a little bit too much, but perfectly fine. Hold for at least 5 years.

  Nice full bodied Barolo that takes about 5 hours to open up. Black plums, marciano cherries, mineral, chocolate, earth and oak. Tannic and acidic but plush/soft. Better young and more approachable than 15, 16, and 17.

  Tasted in La Gemella Restaurant in Barolo - nice wine list and good traditional food of Piemont with a certain kick…
  
  T. Overwhelming component of drying rose flower pedals, chocolate, fresh fruits (physalis) and quite elegant, also soapy perfume…
  
  N. Straight, nice acidity, can stand for a longer time. Mineral (chalk!), coal, tannin, antique furniture/wood, plums (partly cooked), bitter nuances, elegant (!)

  On opening, quite tart, and tasty. Reminds of a fresh rhubarb pie my wife is making again for father's day. we both like it.
  
  the next day, still delicious, still quite tart, hard to drink much of for that reason. Actually enjoying more much cheaper wines, a $22 meleto chianti, and a $50 duckhorn merlot. The barolo is more enjoyable by virtue of our love of all things Italy than its actual taste.

  Italy walkabout tasting, no detailed tasting notes. Very modern and ripe, drying tannins.
