Aldo Conterno, Barolo Bussia Vintage:2019 dark chocolate and toasted espresso

dark chocolate and toasted espresso

It's ready for drinking now

Both the 2010 and the 2009 continue to blow me away every time I taste them

There is lovely complexity to the subtly spiced and distinctly earthy red currant and plum suffused nose

and a lemon-pith note bringing refreshment to the finish

Aldo Conterno, Barolo Bussia Vintage:2019 dark chocolate and toasted espressoAldo Conterno's 2013 Barolo is heavy, with little in the way of finesse or nuance. The flavors are dark and plodding, with a roasted character that marks the fruit before hard, aggressive tannins make themselves felt on the attenuated finish. Antonio Galloni
