Poderi Aldo Conterno Cicala Barolo 2019

Pure and supple in texture, boasting rose, cherry, raspberry, vanilla and toasty oak aromas and flavors, this red is pretty seamless already, with refined tannins that emerge on the finish, needing time to absorb the oak. There's also a saline mineral element that lingers. Best from 2027 through 2048. Score - 97. (Bruce Sanderson, winespectator.com, Apr. 30, 2024) 750 mL bottle
