Conterno-Fantino, "Sori Ginestra", Barolo, 1995

Evolved red.

Killer nose - to the extent that I can't really pin it down. Ethereal spices, cherry jam/liqueur, yet fresh ... wow.

Round and mouth-filling in a way I'm not used to seeing from Barolo or Barbaresco. Which is not to say that it lacks structure.
Cherry preserves and spice in the mouth, with acid-driven tannin constricting the sides of the mouth. There must be some sort of harmonic convergence going on tonight. Actually light-bodied, but intensely flavored. Tanzer's "inner-mouth perfume".

Jesus, this is good.
