Remarkably young, powerful and fresh. Not quite as perfumed or elegant as the 1982 today, but still superb. Nothing better than being with friends.

I am on a bad streak. This was completely underwhelming. Did a careful decant and tried it every hour for the first 6 hours. It just didn’t wish to cooperate. Got better in hour 4 but was just not that interesting. As a mature wine it did t have the focus or intensity I expected. I haven’t tried this producer at this aging but I was expecting much more based on the reviews for the vintage. Not spoiled and not raisiny but just too inward. Upon looking at the cork it’s clear this was not a legitimate Conterno Monfortino. Wrong size markings and condition. I bought online from a reputable auction house but this was definitely a fake! I guess I was due
