Conterno Fantino, Barolo, Parussi 2001
Into neck
92 CellarTracker
Getting to end of life but still some darker red cherry fruit and mature soft tannings. Almost Maderized on the nose but drank with a few big time wine people and they did not think so. Definitely true to an old Barolo style. 8/10/2024

Agree with "not much going on." Dried red fruit that is showing age. Tannins still present but a bit austere and overwhelmed the residual fruit. Cork was concerning and there was absolutely no sediment. Kept well. Purchased upon release from reputable shop and no question of provenance. Pleasant. Perhaps too old or just a lackadaisical bottle. 4/7/2020

Decanted for an hour, to remove sediment, it keeps improving with air. Med (+) brown with an orange rim. Ripe red cherry, red currant, black plum, roses, medicinal herbs, tobacco, balsamic, pencil shavings, pine forest floor, mushroom, dark cocoa, sweet baking spice. The nose is still developing. Dry, med to med (+) acidity, med (+) to high, but polished tannins. High alcohol (14.5%). Palate still has enough fruit, consistent with the nose, to offset the structure. Relatively youthful after 18 years. So elegant and balanced that it appears med (+) in body. Still has several years to go. 11/30/2019
