Alcohol:
Tasting note: Dark ruby red color. Very rich aromas of wild berry, plum and mushroom
turning to grilled meat. Full-bodied, with supervelvety tannins and
wonderful ripe fruit on the palate that gives you a strawberry, cherry
and vanilla aftertaste. Long and complex. Youthful. Hard not to drink
now.--1997 Italian blind retrospective. Best from 2009 through 2019. 40
cases made. (98pts. JS, Wine Spectator)
Tasted: 2007
Score: 96
Drink: 2009-2019
Tasting note: The surreal 1997 Barolo Cannubi boasts a saturated ruby/purple color,
and an exquisite bouquet of black fruits, lead pencil, minerals, smoke,
and licorice. Full-bodied and opulent, with obvious tannin, this
structured, muscular, viscous, formidably concentrated effort will be at
its best between 2004-2020. (95 pts. Robert Parker)
Tasted: Jun 2001
Score: 95
Drink: 2004 - 2020
Tasting note: Full deep red. Roasted red fruit liqueur
and a nutty surmaturite on the nose. Sweet, silky and wonderfully deep;
chewy with extract. Quite powerful, but the wine floral quality
contributes a measure of delicacy to the flavors. All of these Scavino
'97s were obviously made from superripe grapes, and are rather low in
acidity, but this wine manages excellent vinosity. Finishes very long,
surprisingly youthful and ripely tannic. (93(+?) points Stephen Tanzer)
Tasted: Nov./Dec. 2000
Score: 93(+?) points
