Poderi Aldo Conterno
Riserva Gran Bussia Barolo Nebbiolo
Barolo, Cuneo, Piedmont, Italy
Weighty and deep. Dark colored. Mature to the point of being a bit too aged. Tannins were mellowed but it just seemed like a less lively bottle this time around.

Wotn. BOOM. POW. WOW. So damn good. Totally fooled tasting blind. '05 would say this would be way too tannic to enjoy ( undecanted). Not true. Beautiful balance of earth and fruit floral notes.
