Offered duty-paid, but available in bond
Barolo, Cannbi--Vintage 1996
Piedmont. E. Pira
In original cartons
Tasting Note: A compelling Barolo, as well as a classic example of the more traditional school of winemaking, this 1996 Barolo Cannubi exhibits an unimpressive medium ruby colour. However, that is followed by an explosive nose of cherry jam infused with smoke, rose water, tobacco, and spice. With an amazing texture, evidenced by fabulous concentration of fruit, full body, a boatload of glycerin, and moderately high tannin, this huge, complex, profound Barolo can be drunk now, but promises to age effortlessly for two decades. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate 130 (Aug 2000).
