  Luciano Sandrone Nebbiolo Barolo Cannubi Boschis 2008

  Snoothrank:

  Lots of sweet, toasty oak spice on the nose is accompanied a touch of chalk and some savory, meaty, almost jerky tones. On entry a slight edge of sweetness is quickly washed away by bright and tart cherry and strawberry fruit. This is rather elegant, and fairly surprisingly transparent with good length still driving the light sweet edge here, ti... Read More

  Luciano Sandrone Nebbiolo Nebbiolo d'Alba Valmaggiore 1996

  Snoothrank:

  The 1996 Luciano Sandrone Barolo Le Vigne was very reserved on the nose as its fruit came across like watered down Kool-Aid with cinnamon and a little jammy dark fruit hiding in the depths of the glass.
