Barolo Cannubi Boschis Sandrone 1998

Luciano Sandrone Barolo Cannubi Boschis 1998 is a mature single-vineyard Barolo from the renowned Cannubi cru of the Barolo DOCG. The now-prized Boschis vineyard was purchased by Luciano Sandrone in 1978 and the Nebbiolos produced from this site helped to establish the stellar reputation that the Sandrone family enjoys today. "The deep ruby/purple-coloured 1998 Barolo Cannubi Boschis boasts a spectacular bouquet of mineral-infused black cherry liqueur, new saddle leather, and pain grille. This powerful, ripe 1998 offers full-bodied flavours, silky tannin, low acidity, gorgeous levels of glycerin, and a creamy mouthful of complex, layered, superbly pure Nebbiolo fruit. " Robert Parker, 2001
