2006 Paolo Conterno Barolo Ginestra, DOCG RP--93

Robert Parker: 93 Points
Wine Advocate #192 Dec 2010 Antonio Galloni 93 Drink: 2016 - 2026 $56-$60 (85) The 2006 Barolo Ginestra shows wonderful thrust in a bright, vibrant expression of this site. Flowers, menthol, red fruits and spices sit on a wiry, energetic frame as this beautifully balanced Barolo opens up in the glass. The 2006 Ginestra seems to be holding quite a bit of its potential in check, but it is already highly appealing, even if the tannins naturally require a few years in bottle to soften. Anticipated maturity: 2016-2026.
