2002 Giacomo Conterno Barolo Riserva Monfortino 3.0L

Reviews: 98 points Wine Advocate, "Simply put, the 2002 Monfortino is stratospheric. A dark, imposing, but sensual wine, it flows from the glass with a breathtaking array of dried roses, autumn leaves, wild cherries, plums, new leather, espresso, licorice and spices, showing phenomenal depth, richness and balance. The tension between the luxuriousness of the fruit and the austerity of the vintage is truly captivating. (AG)" Jancis Robinson, "Mid mature-looking ruby. Sweet, opulently perfumed herbs and hints of dried fruit and dried orange. A little spiky and very lifted acidity. Lots of energy and quite bold tannin. (WS)"
