Barolo Reserva Speciale Monfortino--Vintage 1968
Piedmont, G. Conterno
Lot 429 levels: very top shoulder; Lot 430 levels: six very top, two top, four upper shoulder
Tasting note from this cellar: Every bit of this wine lives up to its lofty reputation. Garnet core, just starting to turn brick like at the edge. Perfumed aromatics jump out of the glass and demand your attention! Tar dominant upon decanting turning into more dried rose petals with time. A singed fruit quality, dried citrus skins, spicy & smokey. Rich, viscous texture with massive tannins on a very long finish. Incredible structure. In just 40 minutes of decanting the aromatics are unbelievable! The wine is fresh with no major signs of decline. 10 years more would not be inconceivable. A wine of legendary proportions! ST
