Heady aromas of black fruits
This should be one of the longer-lived wines coming out of the 2017 vintage
building beautifully in the mouth to exert an insistent grip on the finish
The palate is full-bodied
the Cariad is truly exceptional
Giacomo Conterno Barolo Riserva Monfortino 1970 12.8L (Slightly Soiled Label) Italy Heady aromas of black fruits"The 1970 Barolo Riserva Monfortino can be a life changing wine. Unfortunately, there arent a lot of moments like those. Deep and exquisitely layered, the 1970 is gorgeous tonight, if not as profoundly moving as it can be. Sage, menthol, licorice, coffee and leather infuse the 1970 with striking layers of nuance. All of the richness and explosiveness of Monfortino is there, even in a slightly less than perfect bottle.!" Vinous, AG97, tasted 9 2019
