Poderi Aldo Conterno Riserva Gran Bussia Barolo Nebbiolo 1996

$279

Deep, full red. Great subtly sweet aromas of redcurrant, plum, spice cake, minerals, dried fruits and marzipan; a wine of compelling perfume... vigorous, with great sappy verve and powerful framing acidity. Fruit flavors are lifted by an exotic suggestion of orange peel. Very youthful and long, finishing with great thrust and buns of steel... a long future, perfectly representative of this great vintage. "This will last 30 years without any problem," promises Aldo. Stephen Tanzer, Vinous Media

Bigger primal fruit than several other 1996s I have had recently. There is a somewhat distracting sweet rubber “scratch off” element that opens in the wine with more exposure to air. It is lacking the sous bois and animal elements I generally prefer in these wines.

Burnt rubber in a good way. Length and strength.

Deep, rich, tar, wood. Hits you over the head in a good way. Paired with Giacomo of same year, a 1996 Barolo tasting, and Giacomo more my style.

Deep dark and concentrated. Matured flavors with sweet liquorice coming through. Bliss.
