Damilano - Barolo Riserva Cannubi « 1752 » 2011

Falstaff

Intense, flint garnet red. Appealing, multilayered nose with rich notes of orange peel, notes of strawberries and raspberries, rose petals and savoury tints. A complex palate with a lot of substance, opens with dense, fine-meshed tannins, complex and concentrated on the mid palate, finishes with truffle and hazelnut nuances. Superb and already drinking beautifully.

Robert Parker Wine Advocate

The 2011 Barolo Riserva Cannubi 1752 opens to a dark color and saturation, which belies a wine of thinner mouthfeel but huge intensity on the nose. The bouquet here is evolved, with licorice, tar and tilled earth. It is dark, well saturated and deep in terms of aromas, but again, it feels a little short in the mouth, where it loses its intensity. This is a nice expression that has not fully fleshed out yet, despite 60 months of slow and careful aging in large oak casks. Give it more time. Some 6,000 bottles were released.

James Suckling

This is rich and exotic with ripe-berry and raw-meat aromas with undertones of dried strawberries and fresh flowers. Full body, round and velvety tannins and a delicious finish. Decadent and satisfying. Drink or hold.
