Score 94/100 · Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Dec 2007

Saturated deep red. Ineffably perfumed nose offers strawberry, underbrush, truffle, leather, tobacco and rose petal. Lusher and deeper than the basic bottling, with a sweet strawberry flavor, a seamless texture and lovely stuffing and breadth. This really spreads out to coat the mouth. The building finish offers excellent sap and vinosity. (ST)

Conterno’s 2004 Barolo Colonnello reveals a core of ripe dark cherries and a beautifully layered, sweet personality with superb length and a refined, fresh finish. With air the wine’s perfumed, spiced qualities emerge to complete this terrific effort. The Colonnello vineyard lies on the Monforte border with Barolo, with which it shares several attributes. A higher percentage of sand in Colonnello gives the wine its signature aromatics and refined tannins. This is an especially successful vintage for this wine. Anticipated maturity: 2009-2019. Importer: The Sorting Table, Napa, CA; tel. (415) 491-4724
