Cannubi Barolo Nebbiolo
Barolo, Cuneo, Piedmont, Italy
Nice. Decant and enjoyed over two days. Blackberry pie and blackberry leaf. Smooth with enough tannins to carry it to the finish. TBL

Decanted, notes from 2 hrs open. When I taste young barolo: I'm reminded of the joke: man goes to the doctor and says: "it hurts when I do this"...doctor says: "don't do that". I wanted to see what 16 fruit is like, but was, I think understandably, nervous about immense tannin. On the nose: pure sweet blackberry and blood orange, with a hint of smoke. So primary, but the fruit is beautifully pure. On the palate: lovely acidity, tar, blackberry, fantastic density, and just amazingly dense and drying tannin on the finish. Will I still be able to drink wine when this is at peak? Will my kids?
