點擊次數：7676

The 1997 Barolo Vigneta Cannubi is approachable, although it ideally needs 2-3 more years of cellaring. Notes of camphor intermingle with ripe berry fruit, earth, soy, tobacco, and leather in this full-bodied, powerful, traditionally made Barolo. Anticipated maturity: 2004-2020. A Leonardo Locascio Selection, Winebow, Hohokus, NJ; tel. (201) 445-0620.

Cannubi is one of Barolo’s most prestigious properties, but in this case the fruit is handled only so well. Heavy oak, which carries a hickory scent and flavor, is the mask of Zorro. You can’t get much from the wine other than wood. Deep diggers will find black cherry and leather, and also some starchy tannins.——M.S.(12/15/2003)—— 85
