1989 Sandrone Barolo Cannubi

(97 Points) From the moment this bottle is opened it is clear that this is very special wine. The 1989 is delicate, elegant and beautiful, with an aromatic nose of spices, flowers, and minerals, and soft, ethereally perfumed sweet fruit that coats the palate with incredible expansiveness, closing with an unbelievably long finish. A breathtaking wine that captures all of the classic aged-Barolo notes in an updated, contemporary style, Sandrone’s 1989 is a reference-point wine for the region. This is drinking beautifully right now and I would choose to drink my remaining bottles within the next five or so years, while the fruit is still fresh. 97 points/drink now- Italy Report # GX, Apr 2007
