Barolo Vigneto Cannubi Comm. G. B. Burlotto 2018 (750ML)

93 Points, Kerin O'Keefe, Wine Enthusiast: "This has a delicate nose that eventually reveals new leather, forest floor and dark spice. On the linear palate, notes of licorice and ground clove accent a core of wild cherry while tight tannins and bright acidity provide support. Drink 2026–2033." 09/22

94 Points, Antonio Galloni, Vinous: "The 2018 Barolo Cannubi is pliant, layered and super-expressive. Even so, readers will have to be patient, as the 2018 needs time to be at its very best. Dark cherry fruit, plum, lavender and spice add gravitas. Like all of these wines, the 2018 is understated and lighter in body than most years, but all the elements are nicely balanced." 11/21

94 Points, Monica Larner, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: "This vintage is riper and heavier compared to some of the brilliant vintages we have enjoyed in the past. I feel the hot summer winds in the Comm. G.B. Burlotto 2018 Barolo Cannubi. The wine makes a bolder imprint on the senses, which is not totally characteristic with the house style. This is a more accessible and open-knit expression from Cannubi." 06/22

100 Points, Luca Gardini, Gardini Notes: "From 0.7 ha of land characterized by the Marne di Sant'Agata fossils, in jargon known as Toû, purely sandy soil, yet another masterpiece of Burlotto. Red cherry on the nose, with touches of lime and undergrowth. The mouthfeel has juicy and brackish tannins, is taut and crunchy, the persistence longlasting." 02/22
