"Pale ruby. Deep, exotic spice and ripe red-cherry-fruit nose with a hint of cinnamon bark. Super-attractive juicy cherry-fruit palate with cinnamon touches and long, finely ground tannins. Hedonistic. (WS)"

"Though a bit rigid, this red features cherry, black currant, iron and leafy underbrush flavors. Light-bodied, this is sustained by a layer of firm, dusty tannins. Best from 2025 through 2038. 1,666 cases made, 500 cases imported."

"Just mid ruby. Open-knit, super-approachable nose of cinnamon bark and marasca cherry. Lots of supple, ripe and almost rich fruit, quiet the charmer! The firm tannins are effortlessly absorbed by the concentrated fruit. Long, perhaps not the most complex but definitely hedonistic. Already giving lots of pleasure. (WS) 14%"

"The Paolo Conterno 2020 Barolo Riva del Bric shows good focus and direction with powerful dark fruit flavors. It's not very long on the palate, but the wine delivers good power with a 15% alcohol content and easy black cherry aromas. It is fermented in steel and aged in botti for 36 months. Fruit comes from younger vines that are 25 years old. 20,000 bottles were created."
