Aldo Conterno, Barolo Bussia Vintage:2019 The refined yet tautly muscled

The refined yet tautly muscled flavors possess good detail and plenty of punch before culminating in a dusty and mouth coating finish of grand cru depth and persistence

The inaugural vintage of Château Quintus

Happily here there is no reduction present on the ultra-spicy and floral nose where soft wood frames the ripe aromas of various dark berries and plum scents

and a lemon-pith note bringing refreshment to the finish

very long and balanced finale as the only nit is a hint of warmth

Aldo Conterno, Barolo Bussia Vintage:2019 The refined yet tautly muscledAldo 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
