2002 Giacomo Conterno Monfortino, Barolo Riserva

This dry red wine has deep ruby colour. On nose it has pronounced aromas of rose, black cherry, licorice, vanilla, mint and touch of earthiness. Medium acidity and alcohol. Full bodied with quite high tannin. The flavours contain black cherry, rose, licorice, earth, touch of tobacco. Long length with cherry finish. (96) Bit young but signs of its potential shown.

估唔到咁快有機會試。強勁、有力、濃厚集於一身。複雜性還待展現，畢竟仍很年輕，但亦開始有一點點的複雜氣味滲出來，長長餘韻亦顯示酒質，單寧一如所料的硬朗，仍需時間馴化，對這酒有一定期待。
