Aldo Conterno Barolo 2013

Barolo, Italy
6.0
WineSaint

Harsh, baked fruit dominates with little elegance or nuance. The extraction feels heavy-handed, delivering a clumsy, muscular wine that lacks Conterno's usual finesse. Coarse tannins grip the palate without offering the complexity this producer typically delivers. A disappointing effort that's unlikely to improve with time.
