  Nose and palate of red fruits - cherry dominant, leather, anise, and flowers. Not overly tannic , beautiful on the palate with a decent finish. A really nice Barolo. Good value for the money. Drink now until 2025.

  Arômes de baies rouges mûres, d'épices...cannelle, d'anis, de pétales de rose, de poussière et de vieille barrique. Un vin fruité, corsé, avec des tannins fins mais bien présents. Structuré, texturé...petit côté salin...umami...et saveur d'épices pâtissière. Moyenne à longue finale sèche. Prochaine bouteille en 2024 ou 2025. 92+

  Corvined a glass and then gave it around 30 minutes. Fabulous aromas of cherry, spice leather and Rose's. Tannic but in a great way, great mouthfeel long finish. Red fruits, a hint of tar complex, just a really nice barolo. One of my favorite producers and Vineyard. Well worth the cost.

  I am stunned by some of the comments on this wine. I tasted it at the winery in may of 2016 and it was absolutely outstanding . I don't remember the details of this wine but it was my favorite of the 5 different bottles of barolo they had opened to taste. Visiting conterno fantino was one of the highlights of my piedmont experience and I thought the 5 barolo they offered ranged from good to outstanding.

  2012 Barolo Check-in Dinner: Unabashed modernist Barolo. Huge nose of ripe cherry fruit, vanilla, mocha and char. This is rich in the mouth with dense, concentrated fruit and firm tannin. Not bad in body. But the oak toast is too dominant.
