The 2008 Barolo Riserva Monfortino is pure excitement. The bouquet alone is alluring, but then the wine begins to open up on the palate, revealing extraordinary depth. An explosion of fruit follows as dark berries, mint, roses, incense and tar flesh out in all directions. Huge, powerful tannins frame an extraordinary finish. This is going to be a thrilling Monfortino to follow over the coming years and decades. Anticipated maturity: 2028-2048. Roberto Conterno’s 2008s capture the best qualities of the vintage. They are intensely perfumed and impeccably refined. These will be fascinating wines to follow over the coming years. As for the rest of the wines in cask, they are pretty spectacular, too. Today I am most optimistic about the 2010s, but there seems to be no shortage of great wines aging in this historic cellar. Readers who want to get an early impression on 2010 will want to check out Conterno’s Barbere, which are shaping up beautifully.

Bright medium red. Deeply pitched, soil-driven aromas of very ripe red fruits, flinty minerality and spices. Then incredibly thick but without any heaviness in the mouth, with superb layered richness to its very ripe cherry and raspberry fruit flavors. Best today on the endless finish, which features noble tannins and is nearly impossible to scrape off the palate. This barrel had not been racked for two years when I tasted it, and was obviously developing at a snail's pace. Should be great.
