A very restrained, remarkably elegant wine showing licorice, red currant, mint and balsamic notes on the nose. Medium- to full-bodied on the palate, it shows ripe, elegant tannins, chewy acidity and youthful style in the long, precise finish. Drinkable now, but best from 2027 for more complexity. ~96 James Suckling
Well-defined raspberry, cherry, menthol, iron, tar and woodsy aromas and flavors mark this intense, linear red. Juicy fruit and dense tannins square off, both heightened by the vibrant acidity. Shows fine balance, but just needs time. Best from 2029 through 2047.~95 Wine Spectator
The Damilano 2021 Barolo Cannubi represents a big production for this diminutive MGA site, with 35,000 bottles created. Aged in large oak casks, I found this wine to be closed on first nose (maybe reduced), with difficultly showing its aromas. There are budding notes of blackcurrant and iris, but it's hard to read this wine in its current state. It will require more time in bottle, and I hope to try it later to see if it opens.~93 Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
