This was good, not great; the nose was lovely and was pretty open from the start; classic nebbiolo with red fruit, mint, orange peel, tar, leather, tobacco, and floral notes. The palate started out a bit thin, but did gain weight with air and improved over the 2 hours of consumption. I love the nose, I wish the palate had a bit more depth and intensity though it may develop some more given the improvement with air.

3 hour decant was necessary. Although very aromatic upon opening, the palette was super tight and unforgiving. But when it opened up it was excellent, classic Barolo in most every way. Wish I had more!

Dire che questo Cannubi sia semplicemente squisito, è un eufemismo. Spettacolo. Se lo avete in cantina, bevetelo. Il mio era in stato di grazia.

Opened a magnum today and it was super tight initially. Didn’t have the time to decant it ahead of the dinner.
The wine opened up considerably over the next 90 mins.
Translucent, red cherry.
Overall like it. Though would wait for 5+ years and even then decant it for 2+ hours
