Score 90/100 · Drink 2018-2024, Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Nov 2016

Paolo Conterno's 2012 Barolo Riva del Bric is deep and powerful. Sweet red cherry, tobacco, licorice, dried flowers and menthol give the 2012 good aromatic complexity and nuance throughout. Although a bit forward in its bouquet, the 2012 retains plenty of depth and enough structure to drink well for at least a number of years.

Giorgio Conterno's 2012 Riva del Bric possesses notable thrust and intensity. The flavors are intense and boldly sketched in what is shaping up to be a decidedly big, intense Riva del Bric, with firm tannins that are likely to require considerable patience.

Monforte d'Alba. Raspberry, cherry, eucalpyt and mouthcoating tannin on the finish. Chunky, potent and lifted. (RH)
