Tasting notes
Barolo. Savoury leaf mulch nose. Mid weight and for the moment with rather simple fruit on the palate but it convinces me that there is much more to come. Serious stuff. Big and bold with good fruit/tannin balance. (JR)

Barolo. Healthy mid ruby with orange tinges. Closed on the nose and compact and youthful on the palate with bitter-sweet tannins. Built like a brick house. (WS)
The 2011 Barolo Cannubi performs very nicely, but generally speaking I am not as impressed by wines made from this historic vineyard in the hot 2011 vintage. The wine delivers soft complexity and a subdued personality without the verve and bursting energy you get in cooler years. It expresses itself with simple, less nuanced vocabulary.
Pale rust red. Scented and super fruity. Lightweight with refined tannins and lots of life ahead of it. Polished with an earthy, truffley undertow. (JR)
