Wine Enthusiast: 96 Points
Aromas of red berry, wild herb and camphor lead the way. On the linear medium-bodied palate, dusty tannins accompany sour cherry, pomegranate and licorice.
James Suckling: 95 Points
Really perfumed with sliced-strawberry, floral and cedar character that is aromatic and prevailing. Some white truffles, too. Medium-to full-bodied with succulent fruit and tannins. So elegant and refined with a long core of fruit.
Wine Spectator: 95 Points
A pure, intense and linear red, this exudes cherry, raspberry, rose, hay and white pepper aromas and flavors. Offers plenty of finesse but also a firm spine of tannins, which bode well for future development. Features fine harmony and a long fruity, minerally and savory aftertaste.
Wine Advocate: 92 Points
The 2016 Barolo Cannubi is characterized by chalky mineral notes that give the wine a sense of place. This wine features fruit from a southeast-facing parcel in Cannubi composed of loose, calcareous soils that tend to produce early-ripening fruit and nicely concentrated flavors. Elegant mineral tones are also part of the Cannubi package. The mouthfeel here is silky and tightly knit.
