Tasting notes
I have to admit I am personally much more fond of the wines Chiara Boschis is making today than those she was making ten years ago, when she was part of Barolo's modernist movement. At the same time, though, there is no question her 2004 Barolo Cannubi has aged gracefully in bottle. Fresh, vibrant and beautifully perfumed throughout, the 2004 captures all of the finesse that makes Cannubi so incredibly alluring. The new French oak is present, yet the crystalline purity of Cannubi comes through loud and clear. The fresh, vibrant finish makes it very hard to resist a second taste. This is a stellar showing.

Decanted but a little bit reduced nevertheless. Dry and very firm. A little earthy and some dried fruit. Pale and typically developed Nebbiolo colour. Pretty tough at the moment and needs time. (JH)
The 2004 Barolo Cannubi possesses superb depth, clarity and inner perfume, with layers of fruit, sweet spices and menthol that develop in the glass as this magical wine gradually reveals its sublime personality and remarkable texture. Well-integrated oak, ripe, silky tannins and a finish that lasts forever round out this beautiful wine, which was simply stunning on both occasions I tasted it.
