Tasting notes
Maturing mid ruby with broad orange rim. Sweet, savoury cherry with a hint of mulch. A touch of nuttiness on the nose too. Lovely, supple fruit that is richly tannic and quite concentrated on the finish. Not ready by far. (WS)

Just mid ruby with broad orange-tinged rim. Pure and focused and fine. Elegant and intense on the finish. Richly tannic and completely integrated acidity, yet clear cru level. (WS)
The 2008 Barolo Cannubi bursts from the glass with freshly cut flowers, black cherries, menthol and spices. It is a cool, reserved wine with plenty of Cannubi character. The 2008 is very young, but striking just the same. The delineation, textural elegance and complexity are all first-rate.

The 2008 is very young, but striking. The delineation, textural elegance and complexity are all first-rate. Anticipated maturity: 2018-2033. There is always something new happening at Scavino, where Enrico Scavino, along with his daughters Enrica and Elisa, continues to push the envelope. This year the Scavinos have a new Riserva they are issuing to mark the 30th Anniversary of Bric del Fiasc, first released in 1978. The 2009s, 2010s and 2011s I tasted point to an estate working at a very high level of overall quality and consistency. Readers who want to learn more about the estate may want to take a look at my video interview with Elisa Scavino. Importer: Banville & Jones Wine Merchants, New York, NY; tel. (204) 294-4899
