Friday, November 16, 2018 - Another great bottle of this fine “simple straight” Barolo from Aldo Conterno.
Big and powerful, loaded with Nebbiolo from a top address.
This time slightly less open for business, in a phase, but clearly heading on towards semi maturity, 10 years since vinification.
A bit more austere with more resistance and integrity, but with all the lovely qualities previously experienced present.
Again, 2008 is showing exceptional, and will be long lived and continue to deliver great pleasure and drinking experiences for many years to come.
I will however try to save my final bottles at least another 5 years, but I’d rather aim for 15 – 20 years more, as I’m sure this fine Monforte juice will just keep growing down the road.
Great wine, great producer, great terroir and a great vintage.
(92+ – 94P)
