Day old blind sample from J. Drank in Conterno Sensory. Appearance is clear, deep intensity, ruby colour with browning rim. Legs. Nose is clean, medium intensity, with aroms of mint, grilled herbs, integrated vanilla oak, ripe dark red cherries, more sour red cherry as it warmed up with air. Developing. On the palate, dry, high acidity, medium+ alcohol, structured high tannins, full body. Medium+ flavour intensity, with flavours of ripe dark red cherrries, dark red plum, integrated vanilla oak, spices,, dark licorice, tobacco, grilled herbs. Gets more savoury and sour red cherry dominant with time in glass. Long spicy finish. Very good quality. Modern styled with oak influence but integrating well and still going strong. A 2007 Barolo that is in no hurry.

Nebbiolo Prima (day 4) #210. A stunning, complete wine that compelled me to taste again later in the day. The aromatics are top-shelf, but the entry, wow, the paradigm for elegance. And while the nose takes a while to come around, this ultimately is the real deal and sure to please traditionalists looking for structure and purity. Recommended+ , drink thru 2025 (92-94)
