Paolo Conterno Barolo Ginestra 2008
Montforte d'Alba, Cuneo, Piedmont, ItalyLove the smoky, tar, prune, strawberry and subtle floral, liquorice notes. The attack is full and round, the palate dry with some grainy tannins but balanced and juicy. Peppery, tar, prune, strawberry jam, clove, savoury, meaty, leather and sloe flavours. Good length and intensity but a bit rustic, needs 3-5 years to soften.Tasted: 30 August 2013Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:ON | $65.00 | 750ml | |
