1997 Giacomo Conterno Monfortino;
Ruby with brick rim. How seductive! Beautifull youthfull nose, fantastic elegance, truffles, coffe, red berries, cherries, Belgian chocolates, perfumed and roses. The balance is out of this world, fantastic acidity and ripe tannins in the back ground, intense and complex and still extremely elegant and a long finish. 95
