It seemed to be a day for 1947, as the 1947 Giacomo Conterno Barolo Monfortino Riserva was spectacular, as good a bottle of this as I have ever had. Someone compared it to walking into ‘a sausage and cheese shop.’ Two of my favorite things lol. Chocolate, mushrooms and all types of nuts were found in this insane wine.

Greatness, just like another Italian from ’47, Sweet Lou (98)!
