96 POINTS: WINE ADVOCATE
"The 2005 Barolo Ciabot Mentin Ginestra emerges from the glass with endless layers of sweet spices, menthol, violets and dark fruit on a powerful, authoritative frame. This is a beautifully defined, sculpted wine of the very highest level. Tar, smoke and licorice linger on the finish. The tannins are massive at this stage... the 2005 is undoubtedly one of the stars of the vintage."

2005 DOMENICO CLERICO BAROLO PAJANA (150935)
|
|
95 POINTS: WINE ADVOCATE
"The 2005 Barolo Pajana is off the charts. This deeply scented, layered Barolo possesses a striking bouquet of spices, tobacco, graphite, dark cherries and new leather that come together in a breathtaking display of elegance and power that is hard to fully capture in words. The tannins are, as usual, quite broad, but they are also remarkably fine. In 2005 the Pajana shows breathtaking balance and harmony with a long, sensual finish. This is a superb effort from Domenico Clerico."

2003 DOMENICO CLERICO PERCRISTINA (150936)
|
|
We included this superb single vineyard Barolo from Clerico because it is not made every vintage (there was no 2002) and it is released two years later than the other Barolos, so the 2003 is just being released. The 2000 Percristina received 100 points from the Spectator - this tells you the quality of the wine...very very limited.

TWO MAGNIFICENT BAROLOS FROM ALDO CONTERNO
|
|
|
2005 ALDO CONTERNO BAROLO COLONNELLO (150932)
|
|
95 POINTS: WINE SPECTATOR
"The 2005 Barolo Colonnello reveals lovely density and depth in its spiced, floral red fruits. The tannins are sweet and silky., very much in keeping with the qualities this vineyard rich in sand typically expresses...awesome balance and sheer class for which Aldo Conterno is famous." - Wine Advocate
|
|
|
"Enticing aromas of plum tart and vanilla bean follow through to a full body with a beautiful concentration of ripe fruit and silky tannins. A wine with beautiful balance and finesse that's also concentrated and rich. $176. 200 cases imported" - J.S. Wine Spectator

2004 ALDO CONTERNO BAROLO ROMIRASCO (150933)
|
|
95 POINTS: WINE ADVOCATE
"There is no need to taste the 2004 Barolo Romirasco, the nose alone is enough to understand that this is magnificent wine. Aromas of tar, roses, menthol, scorched earth and smoke lead to a core of dark red fruit that unfolds onto the palate with uncommon grace and elegance."
|
|
|
"Plum ripe berries and hints of chocolate. Full-bodied, with velvty tannins and lots of ripe fruit, with spices and hints of raisins. The Conternos decided to make this single-vineyard wine because the crop of the Cicale vineyard was destroyed by hail in 2004. So you won't see Cicale or Granbussia Riserva. Just this and Colonnello. 160 cases imported. $185" - J.S. Wine Spectator
