2016. Light ruby, lighter-bodied Barolo from Conterno’s 2018 purchase of northern Piedmont (Gattinara) property. Elegant and well-made, with firm tannins and good acidity, but just too light for my taste. Thin dried cherry fruit, with little mid-palate weight, even after many hours of decanting. $43-45. — 13 hours ago
Hibiscus, cranberry, cherry smell, rusty ruby red, acid is steady, bitter but some acid that balances with raspberry, cranberry, hisbicus is prominent — 20 days ago

Much belated Christmas wine post 🥳 this was super lovely .... of course it could stand a little bit more age on it but it was honestly very approachable and a perfect foil to osso buco ... it did have this very particular cocoa powder meets dry leaves thing on the nose I’ll be curious to open another bottle and see if that’s a terroir thing.... — 11 days ago
