| Private: Conterno Fantino | Private: Barolo Mosconi “Vigna Ped” DOCG | 2016 | James Suckling | 02/07/2021 | 98 | ||||||
VerbiagePlenty of red fruit and tar here with bark and mushroom as well. It’s full-bodied, yet tight and polished on the palate. Tight finish. Tar and burnt citrus to the fruit in the aftertaste. One of the best wines from here in years, this needs some bottle age to open and soften. Try after 2026.” -James Suckling, Jul. 2021 |
