bringing a spicy personality that belies a profound and deep nature

The wine shows light spice notes with distant touches of dark fruit

The palate is medium to full-bodied with gorgeous plush tannins and balancing freshness supporting the boldly spicy black fruit preserves

Chiara Boschis (Pira), Barolo Cannubi Vintage:2004 bringing a spicy personality thatDeep, bright ruby red. Sweet, spicy aromas of redcurrant and plum. Still rather closed in the mouth following the recent bottling, but the plummy fruit and spicy wood appear to be nicely integrated, with the result that the wine is not at all overly oaky. Rather silky texture. Finishes with big, ripe tannins that spread out to coat the palate. Stephen Tanzer
