Tasting notes
Dried flowers, crushed red berries, spices and mint are all laced together in the 2010 Barolo Cannubi. The tannins could use another year to soften, but this, too, is an early drinker.

From Barolo’s most celebrated (and recently expanded) single-vineyard, the 2010 Barolo Cannubi is a deeply floral and elegant expression with sharp contours that give the wine a sense of focus and definition. Pressed violets and dried jasmine lift from the glass and with just a few swirls, the wine begins to reveal red cherry, licorice, balsam herb, moist earth and anise seed. This is a great wine from Marchesi di Barolo, one of the region’s legacy producers. Drink: 2017-2028. Importer: Frederick Wildman and Sons, www.frederickwildman.com
Barolo. Quite deep and youthful-looking ruby. Easy and approachable mellow fruit. Lovely bold tannic structure which makes it proper Barolo, but the fruit I find just a little simple. Pungent acidity. (WS)
