This is a re-taste of a review published several months ago that I left without an official score. The 2014 Barolo Conca is fragrant and enormously floral with whiffs of garden rose, pressed violet and white truffle. In fact, I am very happy I came back to this bottle because it is just singing now with a clear and harmonious voice. Like the other wines from this vintage, the wine shows a delicate, almost fragile state that adds to its overall elegance and accessible appeal.

This starts out with licorice, cherry and tar flavors, picking up mint, hay and iron notes as it builds to a lengthy finish. Not a big red, yet intense and solidly constructed. Best from 2023 through 2043. 264 cases imported.??–BS??Region: Italy / Piedmont / Barolo Select to Add
