Giacomo is the best Conterno. Drinking like it's 22 not 42 years old.

A very serious nose. Tar, molasses. Incredibly intense. Viscous, tart and profound. Still very young if that makes sense

The wine was pulled from a professional cellar with a price sticker still on ($17.25!). We were stunned on how young the wine was drinking and how far is from reaching the apex. Use patience and decant ahead of time.
