Balsamic notes of eucalyptus, juniper and rosemary gild the strawberry and wild cherry fruit. Firm and balanced, with lingering iron, sanguine and tobacco elements. Fine length. Best from 2023 through 2040.

From one of the best-performing vineyard sites in Barolo (especially in balanced years such as this), the 2013 Barolo Cannubi is my favorite expression among the three cru expressions I tasted from Borgogno this year. This wine is forthcoming and direct in terms of its aromatic performance. You still get some of those Indian or Asian spice nuances that I discovered in the other wines from this storied estate. Put this wine aside for the next ten years.
