OMG!!! This Barolo is just plain special. 100 points is no joke here. Elegant, luxurious, BIG. Lay this one down for a few years and break it out for one of those really special occasions.

What experts say about this wine

100

James Suckling

This is a phenomenal Barolo from a benchmark vintage. It’s so powerful and structured with toned and muscular tannins that run the length of the wine. Classic structure. Full-bodied but tight and intense. Flavors of forest floor, fresh mushroom, truffle, and cedar. Dried flowers, too. It goes on for minutes. This needs at least eight years to soften. Leave in the cellar! One of the greatest Cannubis ever.

Wine Spectator

Fresh, harmonious and long, with cherry, plum, toast, sandalwood and forest aromas and flavors, this red is mellowing, with hints of mushroom and leather seeping in, along with tobacco and mint.
