The 2007 Barolo Cannubi/S.Lorenzo-Ravera emerges from the glass with sweet dark cherries, crushed flowers, menthol and spices. It is pure seduction, with effortless layers of fruit that blossom beautifully on the mid-palate and finish. I especially like the radiance and depth of the fruit. The Cannubi/S.Lorenzo-Ravera is a touch more marked by the vintage than the Brunate-Le Coste. Still, it is a striking Barolo from Giuseppe Rinaldi that won't need too long in the cellar to offer its finest drinking.

Barolo. Deep ruby still youhful looking. Catchy red-fruit rosehip and savoury oxo notes. Wonderful length and elegance, while generous and ripe at the same time. Gripping tannin.
