Giacomo Conterno Barolo Riserva Monfortino 2001 1.5L (Nicked Label) Italy tasted 6/2011"Conternos 2001 Barolo Riserva Monfortino is a towering, gigantic wine. Layers of sweet perfumed fruit flow across the palate in this gracious, refined yet powerful Monfortino. Hints of sweet red berries, roses, licorice and spices wrap around the deeply resonant finish. This is another wine that begs for patience. Today it is an infant. Anticipated maturity: 2021 2041." Wine Advocate, RP98 (AG), tasted 4 2012
