Napa 2023: the quieter version; 2/6/2023-2/11/2023 (Napa/Sonoma California): We were lucky enough to have a reasonable amount of Burlotto the week before and so we ended up wanting to share one in Napa. The Cannubi is a bit more powerful than the Monvigliero and this one did have more intensity than some of the other more elegant vintages we were drinking. Still, it was just beautiful. Black fruits and rose hips and maybe a hint of tar and well pulled together and young. Very enjoyable.

At Noble Rot for a fantastic lunch in Soho- never seen central London so quiet in July! The wine was tremendous- decanted and served after an hour- with an extra half hour it opened to reveal the cherries, cigar box, sandal leather and for me a touch of minerality. Silky Cannubi tannins from start to finish. Perfect bottle with great friends!

Nose was closed at first. Took a little time to open up. Once it did, there were faint hints of an elegant, floral element to it. there wasn't much of a body, a bit tart. Gritty on the tongue.

Pop and pour and very young with high acid. Smooth but extremely acidic and dominated by tart red fruit. Backing Barolo character of roses, truffles, soil, and smoke are there but distant. Needs 5-10 more years to develop.

Served blind, solid Barolo but still young, has the depth, all the components lurking in the background
