Vanilla dried apricot and a bit of white truffle on the nose, this grand wine has a sweet core that is wrapped with blueberry, strawberry, leather, smoke, spices, and other savory flavors.
Very gentleman-like and charming. A lot younger than its actual age. 14% in alcohol with fine-grained tannin.

A was surprised by this - the vintage seems to have been overlooked by many. Lots of strawberry, rasberry and sweet spices on the nose. With air a lovely smoke note. Most closely resembled the 2000 in style, although I slightly preferred that vintage.

Giacomo Conterno Montfortino, Barolo Reserva Magnum Dinner (67 Pall Mall): A warm nose with extra spice. Slight tannins on the palate. Still going strong.
