98 RP. "The 1971 Barolo Monfortino flirts with perfection. Although not yet fully mature, it is hard to resist because of its blazingly intense nose of truffles, smoked herbs, earth, dried fruits, and spice. Massively constituted, with huge body, high tannin, extraordinary symmetry and purity, and mouth-staining extract levels, this is one of the greatest Barolo Monfortinos Conterno has ever produced."
