End of the night treat. Enjoyed this after a long Christmas party with some dear friends. Didn't take detailed notes, was PnP, no decanting. Very young, but also very enjoyable. Red cherry, orange peel, rosemary, grapefruit, ripe cherry. No regrets opening this, wine is meant to be shared with those close to us! But I do look forward to revisiting this in a few years. 92 points.

2017 vintage

Mint on the medium intensity nose. Tight med body feels like it needs some more time. A bit woody.

Barolo Communes Series #1: Verduno (Bristol) : Outstanding promise here, though as yet it's still tightly wound and somewhat unyielding. The tannins are prominent but precise. It's notably lighter colour than most other wines in this tasting - a pale red tending to orange notwithstanding its comparative youth (the youngest wine in the evening's line-up). Strawberry, roses and liquorice on the highly perfumed nose. Classically built. Already delivering pleasure as well as intellectual satisfaction. Should improve

2018 vintage

My last of these and it’s a very nice wine with its of mellow flavors and a gentle demeanor. Reflects the easiness of the vintage.

2004 vintage

Great Barolo. Young but very drinkable!

2017 vintage

Brought by vinus_operandi to lunch at Basilico in Millburn, NJ. Double decanted beforehand and acquired recently from a cellar purchase offered by a NYC retailer. At first this seemed very oxidized and old. Old library smell, slight wet cardboard, fearing TCA. Bright acidity but little obvious fruit. We decided to give it some air time. It did improve a bit after 30-60 minutes but it never became really great. Passable but probably not stored perfectly over its lifetime. 90-91 at …

2004 vintage

Coravin, 55F; brickish overall with ruby center; evolving nose, floral notes, anise, mushroom; medium to light bodied smooth with balsamic notes dominant. tart red berry last of faded fruit with some sweetening in glass; lingering finish, improved with bolognese pairing; prior bottle was clearly off; still more downside than upside unless impeccably stored

2004 vintage

I just cannot imagine that this bottle could be showing any better than it did I don't think the fruit had fallen off even 5% there was a terrific nose of very pleasant cherry pipe tobacco, forest floor, spice, rose petals, and fresh jasmine. On the palate a hedonistic mouth feel, plush, elegant, and very sexy, with a presence of dark cherry jam, some darker berries, a fine mix of herbs, and a sweetness that was very compelling. The finish …

2004 vintage

So I’ve had a great history with this wine dating back 35 years. This producer is so far under the radar. Last night was no exception. I opened the bottle at 7 am. Right away you could just smell the cherries. We brought it to a restaurant where they decanted it. The smell of cherries was still wafting from the decanter. Looked translucent but within a few minutes the wine turned so dark that it was impenetrable, even holding it …

Inga noter. Makalöst bra.

2018 vintage

PnP: low neck fill; cork firm no stain seep; rusty brown brick; prunes on nose; madeirized;

2004 vintage

From the opening the wine was quite cloesd and didnt give off much on the nose, but after a couple of hours and air it opened up nicely. On the nose I had a lot of sweet fruit like strawberry and cherry with some almost like marcipan. On the palate it had the same sweet berry notes but also the acidity so typical of the grape. The acid was well tamed and dint take over, but I was missing some …

2017 vintage

Stored since release. Level into the neck. Good cork. Oxidized.

Barolo Master Class (Johns Creek, GA) : Tasted during a "Barolo Master class" at The Wine Store in John's Creek, GA. Bottle opened for 2 hours prior to tasting and tasted with cheese, bread and charcuterie. More modern style of Barolo. Color is light ruby red. Super expressive nose. Very tannic. Cherry on the palate; almost liqueur-like. Brad - heavypourwine.com

2018 vintage

This wine is drinking well right now. Classic Barolo nose and taste profile. Tannins are soft, integrated, and not high--more medium plus--as I expected.

2017 vintage

Delicious nose with strawberry and cherries. Nice attack on the medium palate, with plenty of fruit and a fine finish with nebbiolos dryness. Perfect balance and whats not to like here?

2017 vintage

Lovely and floral expression of the vineyard. I’d wait a few years to open remaining bottles, though, as this was a bit tight—definitely at its best after a couple hours in the decanter.

2018 vintage

Pleasant, gentle wine, lots of cherry with a modest amount of tar and leather. Easy to drink.

2004 vintage

Out of balance with a touch of VA at the start. Fortunately this really comes together nicely after a few hours. Dark plums, espresso, wood and savory earthiness. Full bodied and dense.

2018 vintage

must have drank this years ago

2004 vintage

Fine nose with strawberries and dark cherries. The palate is medium bodied, fresh, harmonious and almost juicy, ending in an intense finish with nice structure and nebbiolos dryness. Still on the young side.

2017 vintage

Prior bottle was 2 years and 2 months ago and this wine continues to show quite well. Nose was a bit deeper this time with both black and red cherry to go along with the earth, minerals, spices and light leather notes. Between medium and full bodied with a very similar fruit profile to my prior bottles: red and black cherry upfront, deeper black cherry and a touch of black raspberry through the middle with some plum behind. Balanced tannins, …

2004 vintage

Janis’s favorite wine.

2004 vintage

100% from Cannubi Centrale. Very perfumed roses, fresh blueberry, pomegranate, orange peel, bright fruit, succulent and seducing, savoury tannins with a little mouth-drying at the finish, which indicates the warm vintage.

2017 vintage

100% from Gabutti vineyard in Bussia Soprana till 2020 when they purchased plots in Dardi of Bussia and blended the grapes. Cinnamon, bright fruits, perfumed violet, fleshy, 紫苏. Quite expressive at its youth.

2017 vintage

Bring an interesting wine theme : Easy guess as 2018 Nebbiolo with the noticeable VA on the nose and approachable, warm red fruit. Still quite tannic but not unbearably so, drinking well now. I have liked the 2018 Piedmont wines that I have tried so far despite the scepticism surrounding the vintage.

2018 vintage

Samma noter. Dricks på provning mot Bussia och Cannubi, samma prod och årgång. Knapp seger till denna.

2018 vintage

Mörkt röd färg för en nebbiolo. Medel+ tanniner och fin syra. Aromatisk och komplex, tanninerna lena och vinet fungerar fint här och nu. Utmärkt.

2018 vintage

Decanted 4 hours. Opened up to reveal a wonderful bouquet. Cherry, tar, menthol, florals. Medium weighted and balanced, silty tannins, very good length. In a great zone right now.

2004 vintage

Vinum Piedmont tasting : Thought this was the most traditional producer on show today. Savoury and rustic dark fruits, lots of earth but the alcohol was too prominent for me.

2017 vintage

:30 decant at Modernessa Guarene A beautiful expression of Barolo. Cranberry, Red Roses , with some vanilla on the finish

2004 vintage

Excellent bottle. Medium-bodied, smooth and complex. Drinking very well with no sign of decline.

2004 vintage

Rubinrot im Glas, leichter Wasserrand, mittlere Viskosität. Der Wein ist noch jung, braucht daher etwas Luft. Danach wunderbare Kirschnoten, dunkle Waldbeeren, Pfeffer, Holztöne. Am Gaumen fruchtig, saftig, die Kirschen, Beeren, Vanille. Eine gut eingebaute Säure, präsente Tannine (was ich sehr mag), alles unglaublich rund, samtig. Der Abgang lang, saftig. Sehr guter Wein, der auch noch ewig lagern kann.

2017 vintage

Prior bottle was a bit over two years ago and this wine has continued to positively evolve along the lines I'd hoped. Nose was virtually identical with red cherry, rose and light tar/leather notes. Between medium and full bodied with red cherry again the dominant fruit note. But the combination of bright red cherry with slightly deeper and darker red cherry through the middle contributes to complexity. In addition, the tart red cherry, spices, tannins and acidity on the backside …

2009 vintage

Pop and pour at Belgian restaurant. Pale garnet color. Medium body. Rose petals and cherry on the nose. Tart cherry and raspberry, touch of new leather and anise, grippy tannins on the palate with forward acidity but not necessarily unbalanced. Medium finish. Wife liked it and she’s particular about reds. Got better as the night went on. (Don’t they all…?) Accompanied by bolognese and braised short ribs. I’d buy this again. Reasonably priced. Good QPR. Curious how this compares to …

2017 vintage

What a beautiful wine, nicely balanced, medium weight but feather light in mouthfeel. A light tar, cherry and drying berries. Chalky chewy tannins coat the moth. Longish finish.

2004 vintage

Great wine, punching above its weight and price. I'm greatly enjoying the 04 Barolos these days. They are open and beautiful. RGCM Gananda did an excellent job of describing the flavor profile. Perfect choice with a bolognese pasta.

2004 vintage

Leather and fruit still has tannin deep in body

2004 vintage

Prior bottle was nearly 22 months ago (Nov 2019) and my notes were again consistent. Red cherry, leather, light tar/leather and floral note son the nose. Between medium and full bodied with red and black cherry upfront and retaining that mix of open roundness and slightly more tart brightness. Mid-body adds depth along with black cherry, hints of black raspberry and then plum towards the back. After being open for four hours, the mid-body takes on that wonderful sense of …

2004 vintage

A lot of forest floor on this bottle. Fruit was sort of subdued.

2004 vintage

Smooth, still some fruit. Good cocktail wine or something to drink with a meal when you don’t want it to over power the food. Only has a couple years left before it starts to turn.

2004 vintage

Great barolo drinking or hold for 5 year's

2009 vintage

Wow...this is all black tea, liquified rose petals, cinnamon, cherry nibs, clove, baking spice, tar and menthol...so gorgeous. Texture is like cashmere...finish is endless. What a fantastic 2004 Cannubi.

2004 vintage

I purchased nine bottle of this beauty ten years ago. I drank the last one several day's ago. Eight of the nine bottles were fabulous, and the last one was probably over the hill. I will negate bottle number nine because it wasn't properly stored. This is a lush wine with fabulous color and a wonderful bouquet. Fans of Barolo will want to drink this as frequently as possible because bottles this good are a rare find.

2004 vintage

Opened the bottle around 10:00 am. Poured first glass at 5:00 pm. Extremely dark with great legs. The nose is a bit shy bus shows cherries, raspberries menthol and some smoke. It a bit primary in the mouth but with a bit of time and swirling it is a really refined drink. Cherries and red fruits with some tar and a great long finish. This has a few more decades left. Tonight I rate it 94.

2004 vintage

Drank first half of this bottle after about two hour decant, nice with food but a bit middle of the road Barolo. Kept the remaining half bottle in the fridge for three days and now it’s a completely different wine, full bodied and goes on for days! Hold or decant for a long time.

2012 vintage

Drinking well now. A lot of sediment

2004 vintage

Prior bottle was just over 15 months ago and my notes were consistent. Red cherry, rose and light tar/leather on the nose. Between medium and full bodied with bright red cherry upfront, with darker redfruit notes through the middle. It's a very pretty mix of polish, brightness, depth and acidity. Backside retains the very good tartness, balanced tannins, and then mineral, leather and spices on the finish. Perhaps slightly more open through the middle and a touch more integrated on …

2009 vintage

Prior bottle was 2 and a quarter years ago and my notes were very consistent. Nose remains red cherry, earth and notes of leather and tar notes. Full bodied and when first opened (at cellar temperature) this was far too cool as it showed as tight and quite tannic. After warming to room temperature and being open for almost five hours, it finally began to demonstrate why I liked my prior bottles so much. Red cherry upfront showing a good …

2004 vintage

Outstanding Barolo, fine-grained tannins, great depth and balance, long, persistent finish, ready to drink now, but certainly some more potential for quite a few more years.

2009 vintage
