2018 Poderi Aldo Conterno Barolo DOCG Romirasco

100 POINTS

Falstaff

Bright, rich ruby. Fragrant, deep nose of graphite, dried rose petal, plus cardamom and ripe cranberries, reverberating with dark cherries, a hint of dried tomatoes and leather. Shows on the palate extremely exciting, with polished, magnificent tannin, tight-knit; in addition a firm drive, comes again and again, endless finish, royal class!

James Suckling

Pretty, floral nose, also offering mushroomy sous-bois notes that give this a real nebbiolo feel from the outset. Full-bodied with firm, fine tannins that are very polished and anchor the wine nicely. Love the focus here. This will need lots of time to evolve and meld together. Try from 2025.
