Tasting notes
Sandrone has been performing at a superstar level since the 1982 vintage, but in 1993 he has significantly more competition from - his best friends. Nevertheless, his 1993s are near the top of the qualitative pyramid for the 1993 vintage. The dark ruby-colored 1993 Barolo Cannubi Boschis is reserved, but it reveals a sweet, elegant nose of roasted meats and nuts intermixed with scents of underbrush and black fruits. As the wine sits in the glass, notes of melted tar and rose petals emerge. More firmly structured than many 1993s, it is full-bodied, with considerable character, outstanding concentration, and an expansive inner-core of sweet fruit. Cellar it for 1-3 more years and drink it over the subsequent 15+.
