I also tasted Conterno’s first wines from his newly-acquired vineyard in Cerretta

Fresh and pliant

There is good richness to the lightly mineral-inflected flavors that possess good detail and fine length on the less obviously rustic finish as the tannins are more fine-grained

it is primal on the nose and needs another year or two to subsume the oak

This blend of 40% Cabernet Sauvignon

Perdrix, Vosne Romanee other_regions I also tasted Conterno’s first(from 3 separate parcels). A floral and attractively spicy nose complements rich, ripe and sweet flavors that display obvious vanilla character plus a seductive and velvety finish. This isnt precise but the lush and opulent texture will appeal to many. 87 2008+
