CRITIC REVIEWS
James Suckling
Incredible, reserved ripeness and depth already evident on the nose after one whiff, offering plum, cedar, rose hip, sandalwood, and licorice. Full-bodied with superb depth of fruit and an abundance of polished tannins that give the wine poise and grace, even though it’s long and powerful. The quality of the tannins are exceptional. Sheer and refined. This comes from the center of Cannubi. Aged five years in Stockinger cask. Better after 2026.

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.
