Note di degustazione
Medium ruby. Fresher and more vibrant than the normale, the Vigna Conca opens with a floral, spiced nose and more obvious signs of toasted oak. It is richer and more intense in its super-ripe red fruit, licorice and tar notes, with good depth and complexity. It should drink well to age 15.

The 1999 Barolo Conca, more ruby in color than the regular bottling, is endowed with a more complex nose featuring chocolate, leather, and floral notes along with the anisette. Long, forceful, and substantial, it still has a few tannins to round off and polish on the finish, and will repay a short wait. Anticipated maturity: 2006-2016.

Medium red. Rather backward but aromatically pure nose hints at plum, mocha and marzipan. Dense, concentrated and sweet, but as inexpressive in the middle as the '98. Still, this thick, serious, youthfully unevolved '99 boasts excellent depth. Finishes quite long, with substantial but sweet tannins.
