March 20, 2021 - This 2013 vintage was a lovely gift from my son-in-law. Perhaps we opened the Nebbiolo red a touch early (based on several professional reviews) but it was still an enjoyable Barolo during a family celebration - paired with roast turkey dinner.
The pure delicate expression of the Cannubi cru opens with aromas of wild berries, roses, and tobacco. It offers a palette of sour cherry, pomegranate, and a touch of anise. It has a long complex finish, ending with a dry, chalky sensation. It opens up nicely after decanting.
According to Robert Parker, “This is one of the most popular and important wines made by Marchesi di Barolo.” So for CTers fortunate enough to have 370+ bottles in their cellars, it’s worth leaving this red in the bottle for several more years.
Cheers. 🍷1,632 views
