I also tasted Conterno’s first wines from his newly-acquired vineyard in Cerretta

and dense blackberry and cassis fruit

Tasted from a bottle from my personal cellar

and in particular cherry and pomegranate

Joseph Roty, Mazis Chambertin Vintage:2012 I also tasted Conterno’s first(from Mazis Bas). A big step up in aromatic elegance and complexity and while the toast is not subtle, neither is it really intrusive though it continues onto the punchy, powerful and rugged medium full flavors that culminate in a dusty, rich, mouth coating and extremely long finish. This is distinctly sauvage in character with moderate toast, which should integrate though it wouldnt surprise if there wasnt always a residual influence, even with time
