The 2012 Barolo Cannubi is the most polished and sensual of Paola Rinaldi's 2012s. Sweet, yet firm tannins wrap around a core of ripe red cherry, mint, pine, cedar, tobacco and white pepper. Aromatically lifted, but with plenty of underlying structure, the 2012 Cannubi exudes classicism and tension from the very first taste. I would prefer to cellar it for at least a few years.
Barolo. Mid ruby with orange tinges. Nose of apple peel and strawberry. Premox danger. Beginning to show some signs of apple peel on the palate too. Short life span. Cask sample? (WS)
