Barolo, Cicala--Vintage 2005
Piedmont. Estate-bottled: Aldo Conterno
In original carton
Tasting note: The estates 2005 Barolo Cicala is a transparent, mid-weight wine redolent of dark fruit, spices, minerals and licorice, all of which come together in the glass with superb elegance. Here the tannins are decidedly firmer and bigger than in the Colonello, even though the vineyards are just a few hundred meters apart! This powerful yet harmonious wine is simply radiant in its beauty. All that it needs is a little patience. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2025. 93 points. Antonio Galloni, Wine Advocate #182, April 2009
