1971 Giacomo Conterno, Barolo, Monfortino Riserva 1x750ml

Vinous 99

As good as the older wines are, the 1971 Barolo Riserva Monfortino is just insanely beautiful. Still deeply colored and intense to the core, the 1971 delivers a classic Monfortino experience. Layers of dark, mineral-infused fruit flow across the palate in a deep, muscular Monfortino endowed with stunning depth. The 1971 shows why it is one of the all-time greats. This is a mind-blowing bottle. [Antonio Galloni, 01/01/2014]

The 1971 Barolo Riserva Monfortino was stunning right out of the gate. Still deeply-colored, it coated the palate with a massive, imposing expression of fresh, vibrant fruit. [Antonio Galloni, 05/05/2008]
