Serio Battista Borgogno, Barolo Cannubi Riserva Size:6x750ml dry and saliva-inducing finale

dry and saliva-inducing finale

A bit lighter in the mouth than the preceding wines

It is a fabulous effort to drink now or cellar for another three-plus decades

This classy effort is really quite good and the only reproach is that it could use more depth

Serio Battista Borgogno, Barolo Cannubi Riserva Size:6x750ml dry and saliva-inducing finaleThe 2009 Barolo Riserva Cannubi starts off with lovely, fruit forward intensity but then delivers some sour bitterness that prevents this wine from scoring higher. The fruit is from one of the most celebrated cru sites in Barolo, and the bouquet is redolent of dried cherry and cranberry.
