Fragrant with leafy undergrowth. Very sweet charming start. An early charmer? Though again, like the Chiara Boschis, it tightens up on the end. (JR)

Good full red. More balsamic aromas of resin, menthol and truffle. Then more concentrated and backward than the Lecinquevigne, but less sweet and giving today. Finishes with dusty, building tannins that betray a slight dryness. Needs time.
Spices, red cherries, new leather and tobacco all waft from the glass in the 2009 Barolo Cannubi. The most aromatically expressive of the 2009 Barolos I tasted, the Cannubi is sensual, layered and generous. The signatures of both the site and house style come through in an ample, broad Barolo with tons of near and medium term appeal. This is one of the best Barolos I have tasted from Damilano in some time. If this is the direction the estate is headed in, the future looks bright.
Pale ruby. Very lifted nose. Some sweetness – hint of Spangles (hard candy). Pretty drying finish. Slightly dusty end. I could do with a little more juice. But it's very clean and expressive. Hint of Earl Grey tea. (JR)
