Damilano "Cannubi" Barolo 2021

Wine Spectator : 95 Points

(11/15/2025) Well-defined raspberry, cherry, menthol, iron, tar and woodsy aromas and flavors mark this intense, linear red. Juicy fruit and dense tannins square off, both heightened by the vibrant acidity. Shows fine balance, but just needs time. Best from 2029 through 2047. 2,250 cases made, 600 cases imported.

Kerin O'Keefe : 95 Points

(2/2025) Rose, red berry, anise and peppermint aromas mingle with a whiff of hay on the enticing 2021 Damilano Cannubi. Full-bodied and polished, the palate features ripe Marasca cherry, licorice, blood orange and mocha alongside velvety tannins before an almost salty finish. Fresh acidity keeps it lifted and balanced. Drink 2029–2041.

James Suckling : 96 Points

(1/8/2025) A very restrained, remarkably elegant wine showing licorice, red currant, mint and balsamic notes on the nose. Medium- to full-bodied on the palate, it shows ripe, elegant tannins, chewy acidity and youthful style in the long, precise finish. Drinkable now, but best from 2027 for more complexity.
