More plush, but still expressing beautiful Nebbiolo character. In a great spot.

Beautifully integrated, soft and severe at the same time. All the classic rose, cedar, leather and tar. Great wine.

Classic Nebbiolo. Tar, roses, soil. Didn’t taste old or young. In a good place. Not a lot of notes only because it just tasted so damn good.

Such a gorgeous perfumed beauty on pop. Violets leap from the glass. Just so sexy and inviting. I was truly bummed when I saw the decanter emptying for that last pour. Aldo Conterno is hands down the most dependably delicious Barolo producer for my tastes. Like Karl Malone it always delivers. Always! Old style purists may prefer Giacomo Conterno or Rinaldi (which are sensational) but Aldo Conterno is my desert island Barolo. I bet it even looks good in a bikini.

Great structure paired with concentrated Nebbiolo fruit. Built to last, this is still far from ready. The Conterno brothers' 2006 vintage wines are well worth searching for.

Still tight and tannic. Closed. Nicely made but tight and unyielding. Closed nose and palate and finish. Needs 10 years more. Declines. Then awful

So much fresher than a lot of the 2000s I've tasted lately. Definitely some oak to deal with but pleasantly surprised
