Luciano Sandrone Nebbiolo Barolo Cannubi Boschis 2008

This nose is divine. Aromas of perfumes, roses and ripe fruit. Full body, with fine tannins and a dark chocolate finish. Tight and very, very pretty. Needs to loosen up a bit with about three to four years of bottle age. Better in 2014. James Suckling. A Nebbiolo wine from Piedmont in Italy. 2008 Luciano Sandrone Barolo Cannubi Boschis 750ml

Good bright ruby-red. Deeper but less forthcoming on the nose than Le Vigne, hinting at black cherry, menthol and flowers.

Then broader and deeper on the palate, conveying a more classically dry impression than the wonderfully sweet, round 2007.

Most impressive right now on the tightly coiled, rising, electric finish, which unfurls spectacularly as the wine sits in the glass. A great expression of Cannubi terroir.

The 2008 Barolo Cannubi Boschis is stunningly beautiful. It, too, is quite subtle and understated. The 2008 is a gorgeous, mid-weight wine laced with sweet red cherries, flowers, spices, mint and minerals. This is a decidedly feminine, gracious Cannubi Boschis that impresses for its elegance, class and finesse. Sweet floral notes add brightness on the Pinot-like, vibrant finish. The wine keeps getting better and better in the glass. This, too, is a dazzling effort. Anticipated maturity: 2016–2028.

In the menthol mode, with additional flavors of cherry, tobacco and hints of tar, this red is bright and focused. The dusty tannins on the finish are complimented by sweet fruit. Offers fine, chewy length. Best from 2017 through 2035.

Anticipated maturity: 2017andndash;2032.
