Tasting notes
Luciano Sandrone's Barolo Cannubi Boschis, now known as Barolo Aleste, is a masterpiece crafted entirely from Nebbiolo grapes in the renowned Piedmont region. The 2001 vintage is particularly celebrated among Barolo enthusiasts. Sandrone is known for his ability to balance tradition and modernity, highlighting the intrinsic beauty of Nebbiolo.
In Volume 28, this Barolo appears as Chris presents it as the Sixth Apostle. Its grandeur is likened to the Maitreya Bodhisattva statue, symbolizing the cosmic logic of the universe itself. Such an image invites you to wonder what universe unfolds the moment you uncork this bottle.
Pouring it into the glass reveals an orange-tinged garnet hue, reminiscent of an ancient jewel. The aroma is immediately deep and layered, offering dried plums, hints of tea, and a touch of sous-bois. On the palate, the attack is rich with lively yet robust acidity. The tannins are velvety, leaving a lush finish that lingers gracefully.
Overall, this wine is incredibly complex, combining elegance with strength. Decanting it before drinking further enhances its full potential.
