Giacomo Conterno Barolo Riserva Monfortino 2014

Brooding and powerful, with layers of dark cherry, tar, roses and earthy minerals that unfold with reluctant grace. The structure recalls classic vintages. Firm, architectural tannins wrapped around a core of concentrated fruit. This is Monfortino in its most reserved form, demanding serious cellaring. Give it ten years minimum; the legendary complexity will emerge with time.
