Aldo Conterno Barolo Granbussia Riserva 2012 not on sale 100% Pinot Noir from theThe earthy, woodsy aromas show some evolution in this red, with just a hint of white truffle, yet there's still a hefty dose of spicy oak to be resolved. Rich and sumptuous mid palate, showing plum, cherry, tar and tobacco flavours shaded by vanilla and toasty spices, with firm, dusty tannins laying a grip on the long finish. Give this another year or two in the cellar. Bruce Sanderson Wine Spectator
