Poderi Aldo Conterno Bussia Barolo Nebbiolo 2013

Darren Dittrich

Stunning cherry almond floral nose. High tannins and acid, but balanced with red fruit, licorice, leather and pomegranate. Delicious.

This wine is a BABY. Nose is a softer, brambly cherry cough drop. The entry of this wine has good weight and good acidity. Can smell and detect the youth almost immediately. Middle of cola, herbs, breakfast tea. Finish of raspberry youth, tannin, herb farm, great acidity, lots of charm. I have a feeling that this wine will continue developing quite a bit over the next 2 decades. For those who are looking for this one to develop, it will do so QUITE a bit for the next 15-20 years. The structure on this wine is massive, and quite impressive. Still going to show its stuff for the next 20-30 years.

Like a plum pillow. Not in a great way. Flat after the vajra and vietti

Infanticide! OK, so I know that this wine is too young, but curiosity killed and WOW, this was a great little Barolo served young, and I can only imagine how 10 years in the bottle is going to thicken this one up. Double decanted this one for sure. The wine was a pretty crimson color and translucent. The nose was pretty light, raspberry and youthful black cherry, and sweet floral. The nose wins awards. The palate is a cherry cola dominated front! More of a monster than the appearance and nose would have probably alluded to, this wine has a lot of complexity on the palate....and after 3 hrs..... The nose was black cherry, some herb, and orange rind? The middle of this wine was pretty darn smooth. Finished with a little mineral-rich black cherry. Cola note was there, but stronger in the front. Wow man, what a treat!
