2001 Aldo Conterno Barolo Cicala:
Ruby. Dark berries, vanilla first, later tar, roses, cherries and liquorice after half an hour in decanter. Fresh acidity, ripe tannins, oaky palate first, bit rough around the edges, later a bit sweet and some alcoholic notes, rounded texture, quite fresh but always a bit warm, liquorice palate. Long. 92
