The dark ruby/garnet-colored 1998 Barolo Vigna Conca offers up an explosive nose of creosote, cherry liqueur, cedar, new saddle leather, soy, and Provencal herbs. Dense, full-bodied, and super-rich, with a 45-second finish, this layered, multi-dimensional, well-balanced, stunning 1998 will drink well between 2002-2016.
