Réva Barolo Cannubi 2018

Barolo’s most famous hill is showcasing its pedigree in this stunning 2018 Barolo from Réva. Its southern-facing, terraced slopes absorb sunshine, gracefully maturing the exposed grapes on the vines. This incarnation is exceptionally expressive and exhibits impressive balance and aromatic character. Features a wildly complex botanical nose along with flavours of fennel, sasparilla, tomato, plum and marbled cherry. The depth and progressive layering flavours is a highly engaging treat on the palate. Ethereal properties seem to lift the wine off the tongue and land it softly in a repeatedly teasing fashion. Tannins are firm but there is a nervy brightness to balance. Lofty with excellent length. Tasted May 2022. [Drink: 2025-2033.] Score – 97. (Sara d’Amato, winealign.com)
