Opened it at 530pm and it only started (truly) unfurling its charms after midnight. This was a regal, nebbiolo. Intense rose and violets. But the tannins - my word - they hit me like a brick wall. Coating my gums and teeth and needed me to continually rinse my mouth so that it won't affect my tasting of the other wines. This is a powerhouse that is built to last several decades. Please be advised, if consuming now, do give it many hours PLUS have it with a hearty steak to soften the tannins.

Late night small group at Maison Dakota. Tasted blind. Drank in Conterno Sensory. Appearance is clear, medium intensity, ruby colour. Legs. Nose medium+ intensity, with aromas of dark red cherries, earth, dark red florals and some peonies, nail polish VA with more air. Developing. On the palate, dry, high acidity, high alcohol (14.5%), very high puckery tannins, full body. Medium+ flavur intensity, with flavours of polishd dark red cherries, sweet red plums, fresh earth with minerals, dark spice, smoke, ferrous iron earth and animal blood with more air. Very long tannic finish. Excellent quality. Fresh and powerful. My initial guess was 2016 Barolo. More age required here for this Cannubi Boschis.

Beautiful! One of the best Aleste-Cannubis Boschi with 2010 and 1990 if we except the future Legendary 2016

Drank from a magnum. Dark fruited with noticeable wood. Leather, mint and forest floor. Somewhat grainy with sharp edges. Give it another five years.
