94/100 vinous
'The 1996 Conteisa shows the darker, more masculine side of its personality. Sweet black cherry, tobacco, dried herbs, menthol, licorice and pine infuse this deeply expressive, layered wine. In many vintages, Conteisa leans towards the more delicate side of things, but not in 1996.'

'The opaque purple-colored 1996 Barolo Conteisa reveals a sweet, ripe nose with an element of sur-maturite given its over-ripe cassis, melted road tar, licorice, and spice-scented bouquet. It exhibits a voluptuous texture, layers of concentrated fruit, and full body. Its tannin is largely concealed by the wine's glycerin, alcohol, and extract.'
