The 2000 Barolo Cannubi, the best Barolo offered in 1999 but not quite as convincing in the hot and dry 2000 vintage. The nose, as always, is an exemplary expression of wild fennel, licorice, roses, and light spice, the palate round and well sustained, but the length and volume of the 1999 are not here. Drink: 2005-2014.
