The 2004 Barolo Cannubi is made in a fairly rich, dark style for this famous site. The wine possess superb concentration and depth yet some of the richness seems to have been achieved at the expense of vineyard character. That notwithstanding, the wine possesses plenty of energy and focus in the fruit, along with beautifully-integrated tannins. Anticipated maturity: 2010- 2019.
This is a very solid set of wines from Michele Chiarlo, a producer who seems to be moving in the right direction with regards to quality.
