The 2001 Barolo Cannubi, a medium ruby, displays a perfumed nose of toasted oak, spices, flowers, mint and minerals. It is a medium-bodied, feminine Barolo that shows excellent persistence on the palate, with pretty flavors of ripe red fruit, finishing with good length and balance. It will benefit from a few years in the bottle to integrate its new oak tannins. Anticipated maturity: 2008-2016. Importer: Vias Imports, New York, NY; tel. (212) 629-0200

Aromas of toasted oak, crushed berries and dried flowers follow through to a full-bodied palate, with silky tannins and a long, caressing finish. Cannubi excelled in 2001. Best after 2008. 750 cases made, 300 cases imported.??–JS??Region: Italy / Piedmont / Barolo Select to Add
