Aldo Conterno Barolo Cicala 2013

Hard, unyielding tannins dominate from the first sip, burying whatever dark fruit lies beneath. The wine shows impressive concentration and length, but these strengths only magnify its fundamental imbalance. Monforte's terroir disappears entirely behind the harsh, astringent framework. A disappointing effort that misses the mark completely.
