Notes : Robert Parker 93/100, Wine Spectator 95/100
"Barolo Colonnello 2005 is dense and deep, spicy, floral and red-fruited. The tannins are soft and silky, typical of the qualities expressed by the terroir. This Barolo offers incredible balance and the great class for which Aldo Conterno is renowned. It's a fine piece of work. (Robert Parker - Wine Advocate April 2009)
