The 2007 Barolo Cannubi is easily the most elegant and refined of these 2007 Baroli from Damilano. It shows fabulous site character in its crushed rose petals, sweet red berries and spices. The vintage has given the Cannubi an extra measure of textural richness and body, without robbing it of what is a very classic aromatic and flavor profile. The Cannubi continues to gain volume in the glass, showing more and more fleshiness with time. The wine can be enjoyed now, but it will be even better in a few years once some of the baby fat drops off. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2022.
Damilano’s 2007s Baroli are big, massive wines that appear to need several years in bottle. They have plenty of underlying structure, and while ripe, they are also well balanced.
