1997 E. Pira & Figli (Chiara Boschis) Barolo Cannubi

1997 E. Pira & Figli (Chiara Boschis) Barolo Cannubi – Italy, Piedmont, Langhe, Barolo (1/16/2010)
Burnt cherry pie, baked dark berries, road tar, green herb. Tannins are pronounced but not debilitating. I liked this slightly unpolished, roguish barolo. Middle and finish are shallow but I expect this wine will flesh out more in 2-3 years and gain a few points beyond an 88+. (88 pts.)
