Tasting notes
Good bright, dark red. Primary black cherry and dark berry aromas are lifted by mint, spices and flowers. Elegant, perfumed and very floral; begins juicy and tight but expands nicely in the mouth. Boasts terrific verve for 2007, finishing with firm but fine tannins and sneaky persistence. I'd hold this for at least five years.

Barolo. Very concentrated and youthful. Leafy cherry nose. Cherry pie. Multilayered. Peppery. Lots of cherry fruit on the palate too, and elegant mouthfeel. Slightly astringent finish, but perfumed ongoing finish with real Nebbiolo character and acidity. (WS)
The 2007 Barolo Cannubi is round, sensual and totally inviting. It is one of the most open and rewarding 2007 Baroli I have tasted thus far. I have a preference for the more vibrant Via Nuova in this vintage, but the Cannubi is a fabulous Barolo to drink now and over the next few years. The uninterrupted warmth of the year did not allow for the fruit in this due south-facing parcel to develop its full aromatics, which is the only thing that keeps the score from going higher.

Anticipated maturity: 2017-2020. Chiara Boschis never misses a beat. Her 2007s were beautiful when I tasted them from barrel last year, and they are equally gorgeous now that they are in bottle. Boschis has gradually lowered the percentage of new oak in her wines, which is allowing the fruit to come through with notable elegance and transparency.
