"The bouquet presents dried herbs, humus, earthy forest undergrowth and licorice and spice overtones. The palate is rich and velvet-smooth, fleshy and supple with surprisingly gentle tannins. It has a rounded, ample shape and profound flavour that lingers on for several minutes. It's remarkably approachable for its age. A superb wine." - Real Review
"Wow. This is real Cannubi, offering sliced ripe strawberries and dried flowers, such as roses, as well as crushed raspberries. It’s full-bodied, yet very tight and reserved. Stealth is a word that comes to mind. Love it. Best in a long time. Drinkable now, but better after 2023." - James Suckling
"Red and black cherry, a slight raspberry jube and rhubarb thing, liquorice and plenty of brown spice. It’s smooth and fleshy, supple and long, tannin only really shows its hand on the finish, and even then, it’s a smooth powdery grip. Brightness and a little warmth, but shows quiet confidence throughout. Should turn out very nicely in bottle." - Gary Walsh, The Wine Front
"The 2016 Barolo Cannubi is ample and generous, with terrific textural resonance and breadth. Ripe dark cherry, plum, spice, licorice, new leather and menthol all flesh out in a supple, racy Barolo loaded with class and personality. The 2016 is rich, sensual and wonderfully inviting." - Antonio Galloni, Vinous
