Aldo Conterno Barolo Cicala 2015
One of my favourite Barolo's - with suitable bottle age - 20 years is good - you are in heaven. In the past two years have enjoyed much pleasure from the 1996 and 1999 vintages. Ian Cook
?The 2015 Barolo Bussia Cicala is like a little steam train that keeps pushing forward. The wine shows the forward momentum and power of the vintage, imparting ripe and rich primary intensity along the way. This steady and elegant expression of Nebbiolo reveals dried blackberry, tar, licorice, smoke and white truffle. The wine's approach is broad and textured as it rolls over the palate. Some 6,000 bottles were produced. Drink: 2021-2040. 95 points.? ? Monica Larner, Issue: 243, The Wine Advocate, 29 June 2019
Perfumed and very bright with dried flowers, dark berries and a sandalwood undertone. Full body, integrated tannins and a soft and polished finish. Very pretty, and structured. Harmonious. Measured. Drink from 2023. 96 Points. Nick Stock, jamessuckling.com (Nov 2019).
