Dark ruby in color with a wide brick rim.
Gorgeous nose of black currants, plums, cooked cherries, dried figs, cedar, licorice, vanilla, spices, chocolates, tobacco, herbs, light earth and black pepper.
Full bodied and elegant with medium acidity and long legs.
Dry on the palate with plums, currants, cedar, earth, vanilla, licorice, spices, chocolates, tobacco, herbs, coffee and peppercorn.
Long finish with fine grained tannins and cherries.
This is a delicious Barolo from the great Cannubi Vineyard. Well balanced with nice complexity and a soft mouthfeel.
This 12 year old is great right out of the bottle. Soft and smooth. Elegant and fruity.
Didn't need too long to open up. It was shining after 45 minutes in the decanter. Loved the nose here. Delicious stuff.

Distinct spritz. Shy nose. Hints of caramel and orange peel. Nice buttery entry then it goes steely and focussed. Nice — 9 months ago
This was a purchase from last bottle so I figured I would give it a try. Darker color than expected. Nice taste longer than I like taste. But overall very good. Look forward to purchasing more Barolo from this vineyard. — 10 months ago
Strange wine. Very little fruit here, but a crazy amount of botanical herbs that reminds me of Chartreuse, jasmine, chamomile, slate, leafy greens, and maybe some spearmint. Not delicious but fascinating none the less. This will get someone out of their comfort zone real quick! — 5 years ago
Really tasty. Small bite at the end of the sip. — 6 months ago

Probably the best example of a new world Nebbiolo from the Australian master of alternative varieties as in Steve Pannell. See previous more detailed notes on Delectable - 182 weeks ago. — 10 days ago
