Rockss and Fruit

  (Giacomo Conterno Barolo) This was perfect wine. Drinking at full expressiveness. Nose of dried rose petals, cherry, strawberry, truffle and leather. Palate was supple and rich with red fruits, smoke, minerals and completely resolved tannins. Very juicy and soft and truly achingly elegant. The fruit was beautiful and pure. Just magic.

  (Giacomo Conterno Barolo) A mindboggling nose. Mesquite bbq sauce, dark flowers, spice (cloves, etc), and woodsmoke. Like a carpenter's shop in a Piedmont wine cellar. If that makes any sense. This was just so aromatic I smelled it for 10 minutes before I had a sip. Again with a super-supple texture and great purity the fruit was so sweet and the concentration was so intense this wine was singing. Easily the youngest so far of the old wines with just fantastic snap and length. It is amazing how complete these wines are especially once they have age.
