Score 91/100 · Drink 2005, Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Oct 2005

Dark ruby. By comparison the 1997 comes across as relatively straightforward. It is a richly concentrated, lush Barolo showing intense aromas and flavors of over-ripe jammy, and stewed fruit, with a persistent roasted character and a note of burnt sugar. While it lacks the complexity and length of the very best vintages, the 1997 is drinking well now and should last at least another ten years.

Score 95/100 · Drink 2004-2020, Robert Parker, Jun 2001

The surreal 1997 Barolo Cannubi boasts a saturated ruby/purple color, and an exquisite bouquet of black fruits, lead pencil, minerals, smoke, and licorice. Full-bodied and opulent, with obvious tannin, this structured, muscular, viscous, formidably concentrated effort will be at its best between 2004-2020.
