The 2004 Barolo Conca, from the south-facing vineyard below the cellar, is a deep, full-bodied wine packed with dark fruit. Made in a dense, concentrated style the wine reveals notable depth and staying power. Here too, underlying notes of greenness are out of character in this vintage.

This attractive Barolo offers excellent density and purity of fruit. It’s a modern, well concentrated expression of Nebbiolo with plush notes of black cherry, spice, licorice and blue flowers. The wine is firm and unyielding with a determined mouthfeel and pretty flavors of spice and mineral.——M.L.(4/1/2009)—— 92
