Tar and earth notes take center stage in this harmonious red, with cherry and plum fruit lingering in the background. Rich and ripe, but also dense, with a dusty feel to the tannins on the finish. Best from 2019 through 2033. — B.S.

92+ The 2011 Barolo Conca was previously labeled as Barolo Marcenasco Conca. These two vineyard sites have now been relegated to their respective bottles. This is a lovely wine that exudes bold tones of spice, dark fruit and oozing chocolate. It is characterized by thick lines and a chunky consistency that works well within the context of this soft vintage. Overall, it is fleshy and thick with a great sense of momentum and muscle. - Monica Larner
