Chiara Boschis (Pira), Barolo Cannubi Vintage:2004 the medium-gold colored 2004 ErmitageDeep, bright ruby red. Sweet, spicy aromas of redcurrant and plum. Still rather closed in the mouth following the recent bottling, but the plummy fruit and spicy wood appear to be nicely integrated, with the result that the wine is not at all overly oaky. Rather silky texture. Finishes with big, ripe tannins that spread out to coat the palate. Stephen Tanzer
