Chiara Boschis (Pira), Barolo Cannubi Vintage:2016 black and blue fruit profile

black and blue fruit profile easily

on a lingering candied violet note

Rich and ample in the glass

the bottled 2014 La Poza de Ballesteros was quite faithful to the sample I tasted before it was bottled

Chiara Boschis (Pira), Barolo Cannubi Vintage:2016 black and blue fruit profileDeep, bright ruby red. Sweet, spicy aromas of redcurrant and plum. Still rather closed in the mouth following the recent bottling, but the plummy fruit and spicy wood appear to be nicely integrated, with the result that the wine is not at all overly oaky. Rather silky texture. Finishes with big, ripe tannins that spread out to coat the palate. Stephen Tanzer
