Courcel, Pommard Croix Noires other_regions_italy Aldo Conterno's 2013 Barolo isThis possesses really lovely aromatic complexity with a hint of the sauvage to the plum, dark berry fruit and pungent earth scents. There is good volume and richness to the opulent and suave medium bodied flavors that display relatively fine detail on the firm and ever so mildly rustic finish. This is one of the rare 2010s that could actually be approached young if it was decanted for an hour or so first. 92 2022+
