Score: Robert Parker 90/100
"Langhe Nebbiolo Il Favot 2006 is a serious wine with superb concentration and balance. This firm, vibrant Nebbiolo has opulent, refined tannins that make it enjoyable now, but enthusiasts who like more aromatic nuance and complexity will cellar it for a few years. The purity of the fruit is remarkable. A very fine piece of work by Aldo Conterno". (Robert Parker - Wine Advocate October 2009)

Note and review by M. YOHANN A. Published on 07/12/2012
A good nose on opening but a huge disappointment on tasting: it stings. After 1 hour's opening, it was better, but not good. But it's still a big disappointment for the price.
