Poderi Aldo Conterno Cicala Barolo 2020

Dense garnet in the glass. On the nose it’s restrained, with cinnamon, sweet violets, cherry pits and a balsamic whiff. The attack is full, with a dense palate that’s powerful yet velvety. The crisp, refined tannins are long. with deliciously integrated acidity. Great balance and concentration. Best after 2030. Score – 97. (jamessuckling.com, May 1, 2024)
