Paolo Conterno Riva del Bric Barolo 2010

The 2010 Barolo Riva del Bric shows a high degree of floral intensity with pressed violets and rose followed by bright red fruit and distant spice. The maceration period is relatively brief (15 days) and this has helped to fix the wine's intensity, both in terms of its appearance and its bouquet. Vinification includes three years in botte grande. Mineral nuances and fresh acidity characterize the finish. Drink: 2017-2028. Score - 93. (Monica Larner, erobertparker.com, July 2014)
