The most tannic of the 3 bottles I've had within the past few years. I think this one's cork held up better which led to the difference in bottles. Nice acid, and probably too young. Which is weird because the others were in peak. For perfectly stored bottles, I'd say this needs at least 5 more years before the tannins really soften - maybe even 10. Cheers

Gorgeous classically made barolo. Very mellow now, but with a tannic structure that is certain to still allow it another decade of life. I would have given it 95 points but it had an ever so slight hint of Brett on the finish- which did subside a bit upon decanting.

Ich habe mittlerweile rund 10 Flaschen Liste und Cannubi aus 1999 und 2000 von Damilano getrunken - die Flaschenvarianz ist leider sehr hoch. Aus einer guten Flasche wie dieser ist der 99er Cannubi ein Traum. In der feinen Nase Rosen- und Teeblätter, etwas Teer, Kirsche, Brombeere, Lakritze. Am Gaumen sehr rund, neigt vielleicht ein wenig zu sehr auf die opulente Seite für meinen Geschmack. Im Abgang zwar voll integriertes, aber immer noch präsentes, adstringierendes Tannin. Hat noch genug Potential für weitere 10 Jahre.

Cork looked terrible, but it was miraculously still in great shape. Awesome wine and in a great spot now and plenty of life left.

Typical and rather classic Barolo which is just coming around developing earthy and third phase tones.
the fruit is rather subdued which detracts but the Barolo pedigree is apparent and rescues the experience.
