Aldo Conterno Barbera d'Alba Conca Tre Pile 1999

Aldo Conterno Barbera d'Alba Conca Tre Pile 1999: The colour shows a touch of maturity. High toned volatile components on the nose, with aromas of leather armchairs, ripe but acidic cherry fruit and root liquorice. Smoothly textured on the palate, backed by sharp acidity and soft ripe tannins. Rounded, barrel matured mouthfeel. Rich, good extract, mouthfilling, with quite bit of grip. Sweet and balanced finish. 16/20 (9/6/03)
