February 1, 2015 - Contino mini vertical: Today I liked it more than '81 and '82. Softer body, leaner and more silky, spicy-herbal-pickle notes, smoked meats. This had a pleasant food feeling to it, like you are eating, not drinking a wine. There were some stewed fruits and coffee. With time it developped a note of smoked pickle. Excellent.
