Although Boschis prefers to age her Barolos in 100% new oak, the wines are always well-balanced. While some of the aromas and flavors are those of the modern school, the wines medium weight and structure are decidedly classic. The 2001 Barolo Cannubi, a rich ruby, presents a complex, multi-dimensional nose of flowers, sweet fruit and toasted oak. The beautiful 2001 version is classic in every way, revealing layers of sweet fruit, licorice, tar, mineral and toasted oak flavors, with great length and freshness on the finish. It is a wine of great class and elegance. Anticipated maturity: 2009-2019. \u003c\/font\u003e\u003cfont face=\"Verdana\" size=\"2\"\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003e93 points.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"2\"\u003e\u003cfont face=\"Verdana\" size=\"1\"\u003eWine Spectator, Oct 2005\u003c\/font\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cfont face=\"Verdana\"\u003e($90) Wild and funky with an exotic undertone.
