The reigning queen, however, is the 2009 Barolo Cannubi. This outstanding wine shows gorgeous inner and outer beauty. I am especially impressed with her 2009 edition because this vintage presented many obstacles to many of her neighbors in the same cru designation. The balsam intensity is mind-blowing: menthol notes are woven together with ginger, cola, dried rosemary, pressed rose and licorice. The wine leaves a memorable trail of lasting elegance thanks to its finely polished tannins and silky texture. Anticipated maturity: 2015-2030.
