Lot #25. Giacomo Conterno Barolo Riserva Monfortino 1999

Description: Consists of 12 Bottles, 0.75L
Region: Italy, Piedmont, Barolo.
Score: 100 AG.
"I have always had a big crush on the 1999 Monfortino. Here it is the combination of sensual, virtually intoxicating perfume, focused fruit and structure that stands out most of all. The 1999 is naturally quite young, especially from magnum, but it is a head-turning beauty. I remember giving the 1999 a huge score when it was first released and going long on the wine. I am glad I did. In time, the 1999 will take its rightful place among the greatest Monfortinos ever made. Actually, it already has." Vinous, May 2014
Lot Location: Orange County
Estimate: $7,000
