1999 Luciano Sandrone, Barolo Cannubi Boschis MAGNUM

95 / 100 RobertParker.com Luciano Sandrone’s 1999 Barolo Cannubi Boschis is another gem from this underrated vintage. It offers an attractive nose, with aromas of flowers, toasted oak, menthol and minerals that waft out of the glass. Still primary, it exudes tremendous vibrancy and richness in its sweet dark fruit, with notable length, great overall balance and a refined, elegant finish. Although it has started to shut down somewhat in the bottle it should begin to be at its best in another few years, and will still be a memorable wine at age 20. Several recent bottles have all been outstanding, and a bottle I left open in my cellar was still deeply expressive a week later.
