Damilano Barolo Riserva DOCG Cannubi 1752 2015

Savoury, muscular, strong tar and redcurrant, sour cherry, dried herbs and walnut on the finish. Give this time in the glass to appreciate the amazing evolution; it needs a good 60 minutes before the roses and tobacco arrive. The charred oak impact remains dominant, but will soften further over the next few years, and this is a superb bottle of Barolo. Aged five years in Stockinger oak casks, then a further year in bottle before release. Daimalono is the largest owner of the excellent Cannubi cru, with just over 10ha.
