Red fruits, spices and some floral notes. Tar and nicely integrated oak. At drinking peak. One I'd like to try again with more time in glass to open up (I had this as part of a quick succession of many Barolos this evening)

It was bold, powerful, complex, but also settle. Didn't decant this 20-year-old, and it evolved in the glass throughout the 2-hour drinking window.
It's still grippy, but in a comfortable way. Palate surrounded with red fruits, noticeably strawberry and plum. The finish was really long. This is perhaps just beginning to peak with another 5-7 years to go.

Barolo Boys Theme Lunch at Wakanui. Drank in Grassl Cru. Aired in bottle for about 3+ hours already. Appearance is clear, pale intensity, ruby colour. Legs. Nose is clean, medium+ intensity, with aromas of floral violets, dark red cherries, purple fruits, boysenberries. Developing. On the palate, dry, high acidity, medium+ alcohol (14%), structured yet fine elegant high tannins, full body. Medium+ flavour intensity, with flavours of dark red cherries, boysenberries, dark licorice, sweet tea leaves. Long finish. Very good quality. Darker than red kind of fruit spectrum, yet overall it still exudes grace and poise. Could only be a Chiara Boschis. Feels fresher than expected given its age. This feels like it can still develop more!

A beautiful Barolo that is structured but also shows delicious fruit with flavors of blackberry and dark cherry with notes of tree bark and forest floor. There is also a lovely floral lift with notes of lemon verbena that is enchanting. The finish is dry and complex with notes of balsamic and dark spice. Drinking well now with a decant but should continue to hold for quite some time.

Inte det bästa av Chiaras viner, hennes Cannubi är nästan alltid ett strå vassare men detta är ett fint vin som börjar komma till sans och öppna upp fint, mycet piemntoaceton, röda bär, läder, körsbär apelsinskal, lite mint och en en helt underbar fin syra som balanserar upp allting på slutet.

Jag älskar verkligen Chiaras viner. Det är alltid samma glädje att besöka Chiaras vineri som ligger mitt Barolo by och hennes Cannubi är alltid hel fantastiskt. Och i mitt tycke så finns det knapp bättre viner i Piemonte i denna prisklass. När det gäller just detta vinet hade jag dock förväntat mig mer. Röda bär, apelsinskal, mint, örter, sommarblommor och lite av den typiska Piemonteacetonen. Förvånansvärt lite mognadstoner både i doft och smak. Men som alltid ett bra vin med underbar balans. Dock lite tunn och kort i eftersmaken.

It's one of the most delicious Barolos I've had.
It was bold, powerful, complex, but also settle. Didn't decant this 20-year-old, and it evolved in the glass throughout the 2-hour drinking window.

Last legs first half of bottle still had some flavor and complexity but it's sputtered. No doubt a fine drink earlier in the decade.

well past prime; cork broke mid pull and a faint hint of plum and ripe cherry gave way to paper sawdust etc.

Enjoyable tonight. Soft but with that Barolo edge. Some hint of that mildew in the background. not a good sign for the remainder.

Great drinking Barolo for Family Christmas Dinner. Deep color, very aromatic but had hoped for more.
