Paolo Scavino Barolo Cannubi 2013 (750ML)

96 JS / 96 WS / 94 WA

Aromas of strawberries, flowers and tea follow through to a full body, a dense center palate and a tannic and structured finish. Big and powerful Cannubi. Tiny production. Drink in 2022. James Suckling

This red starts out with firm grip to the cherry, strawberry, rose, leather, tar, tobacco and iron flavors. Opens up with aeration, turning seductive and elegant. Vibrant acidity keeps this focused through the lingering finish. Best from 2021 through 2038. From Italy. - Bruce Sanderson, Wine Spectator

Paolo Scavino's 2013 Barolo Cannubi stands apart in its ability to show the finessed characteristics of this special vineyard site. Cannubi is one of the first crus to reach maturity each harvest, and the quality of its fruit is complex, layered and ethereal. This is made abundantly clear in this classic vintage. The wine shows delicate tones of wild berry, balsam herb, dried ginger and white truffle. In the mouth, it moves with sensual and silky grace. - Monica Larner, Wine Advocate
