Conterno Fantino Barolo Mosconi 2014

Conterno Fantino Barolo Mosconi 2014Deep garnet in color, fruity bouquet recalling brushwood, berry fruit, brier rose; gorgeous structure, ripe, rich tannins, complex, and austere. Blackberry and floral aromas with hints of spices. Wet earth, too. Medium body and fine and silky tannins that are very polished. This red evokes cherry, leather, earth and even a hint of manure in the aromas and flavors, yet has plenty of stuffing and flesh to offset the austere tannins. Leaves you wanting
