After a gasp of air (about 10 minutes) this was an explosive mix if concentrated fruit, earth, flowed, sweet mint, and mineral.

1989 Aldo Conterno Bussia Soprana Barolo. The first time one of the Aldo Conternos has spoken to me on a carnal level.

A truly beautiful wine. Needs at least one and a half hours to open and soften and become a lovely enveloping rich presence that evokes warmth, depth and ageless aromas of ancient stone hearth romance

It’s been a long week. We needed this. Some 85s are past prime. This has beautiful sweet fruit. More, please.
