Score 93/100 · Drink 2005, Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Oct 2005

Dark ruby. The 1998 displays the classic perfumed Cannubi nose and plenty of sweet ripe fruit, and rose petal flavors in a supremely elegant, accessible style, but with more freshness and better balance than the 1997. This wine shows just how outstanding the 1998s can be and is a great choice for near-term drinking.

Score 91-93/100 · Drink 2001-2016, Robert Parker, Oct 2001

The full-bodied, seamless 1998 Barolo Cannubi offers the essence of black cherry jam/liqueur along with earth, mineral, new saddle leather, coffee, licorice, tobacco, and new wood. It saturates the mouth without any sense of heaviness. Drink this full throttle, elegant, pure, classic Barolo over the next 12-15 years.
