Tasting notes
The 2014 Barolo Cannubi is an intriguing wine, as it is not especially sensual in this vintage, but instead packs a serious punch. The flavors are bright and perfumed, with plenty of chalk and white pepper overtones that add energy. Today, the 2014 is tightly wound, and yet it is also super-expressive. Readers who can be patient will be rewarded, but the 2014 Cannubi is not as obviously compelling as some other recent vintages have been.

Executed in a very traditional and streamlined style (with 36 months in large oak casks), the 2014 Barolo Cannubi offers a very evident and encouraging step forward in quality next to the village Barolo from the same vintage. This single-vineyard Barolo offers more depth and complexity that surrounds a dark core of black fruit. However, the mouthfeel remains thin and tight. Like the other new releases from this estate, you do get an element of dryness or astringency on the close. Drink this wine within the next 10 years. Some 10,000 bottles were produced.
Barolo. Tasted blind. Mid to deep ruby with orange tinges. Balsamic lifted cherry nose with hints of cardamom pod. Minty cherry and raspberry fruit and bags of coating tannins. It will need more time for the whole to come together. Chewy, long finish that is just medium bodied. (WS)
