Strong and a bit funky. Sour cherries and a faint aroma of anise. Fairly heavy on tannin. Leather and oak on finish. — 7 years ago

I love this wine. It’s one of my everyday quaffers. This ‘15 Barbera offers an (almost) Aldo Conterno concentration of classic flavours but lacks the oak treatment, so way much more Barbera nekedness involved here. — 8 years ago

Really strong Barolo from 2004. Nice red fruit on the nose and palate. Smooth but with a great acidity. Served with porterhouse, roasted mushrooms, and mashed potatoes. — 8 years ago

Definitely in its prime. Renewing my faith in zachy's auction bottles after that last aldo conterno — 10 years ago

Wine showed great, fresh, not fully mature classic bussia clay terroir
Fruit had blue notes, not as red as Aldo conterno nor as big framed as Clerico — 12 years ago

Not sure anyone thinks to age Dolcetto but perhaps we should. This was very good - had the color and elegance of an old Nebbiolo. A great find in the basement of Ladue Market. — 8 years ago

Deliciously bright berry fruit on this blend of 80% Freisa, 10% Cab Sauv & 10% Merlot. Wonderful depth of earthy spicy undertones and a long soft finish. Great with mushroom pizza and roasted veggies on a casual Tuesday night. — 8 years ago

what a pretty wine, substantial amount of Freisa, really don't know much about it, except us used sometimes for fizzies. Trying a Langhe from Aldo Conterno later with 80% of that grape. — 11 years ago

Musty nose on pop but after a decant and swirl the violets kick in and the bouquet delivers a whiff of truffle as well. Classic Barolo tar on entry, massive red fruit, rose petal and fig. A bit grainy and less vibrant than I’m used to from Giacomo Conterno. Good, not great length. A serious Barolo. More substantial than flashy. My preference runs to the Aldo Conterno wines but these are perhaps more “traditional” and worthy of contemplation. — 8 years ago

Delicious... no big raisin component, but not anaerobic like the Conterno. This is nice balanced Barolo. — 8 years ago

A very young but approachable Barbaresco. No oak in sight but I do feel rotofermentors. Reminded me of Aldo Conterno a little. — 10 years ago
