Incredible. So young, but open without a decant for hours and it's great, the tannins softened, the acid is bright but everything is in balance

Great vintage for this Francia as no Monfortino was made & all juice was blended in this wine. Plush & polished with red, black fruits, licorice, spice, leather, rose petal & tobacco. This has many years left but so good now why wait.

An absolutely wonderful Barolo from Conterno. First time having wines from G. conterno, as far as I remember. Had with a perfect rare chianina beef florentine style steak.

If I could go back and time I’d like to redo my senior Econ thesis to better explain the difference in European and American wine list pricing at restaurants. This wine was sold for $30 less than the *release price* in the US. Really a lovely nebbiolo.

Very moody and expressive. Young for sure but it was wonderful now. Approachable in every sip but lots going on in the bouquet and the finish.

This was a vintage for Francia where no Monfortino was made drinking quite youthful tonight showing lots of tannin & structure that will need more time in the cellar.

Quite firm tannin but countered with ample juiciness. Almost a chocolaty undertone.

11 seems to be approachable young but this could use some time and who knows how good it could be.
