96 points/'Cellar Selection,' Kerin O'Keefe (Wine Enthusiast): "[$138 list] Rose, exotic spice and dark-skinned berry aromas mingle with whiffs of menthol and new leather on this radiant Barolo. Firmly structured and loaded with finesse, the savory palate delivers ripe morello cherry, orange zest, licorice and tobacco before a crushed mint finish. Taut fine-grained tannins and fresh acidity keep it well balanced. Drink 2026–2036. Alcohol 14.5%. (Sep 2020)"
96 points James Suckling: "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. (9/3/20)"
95 points Wine & Spirits: "[$138 list] This is a poised and vivacious 2016 from vines that range from 14 to 54 years old. Flavors of rich dark cherry are taut and precise, brightened by exuberant acidity and notes of orange peel and menthol. Fresh and layered, with silky tannins, this shows great aging potential. (Dec 2020)"
95 points Falstaff Guide: "Shiny ruby with a light rim. Very fragrant and fresh nose of wild raspberries and strawberries, in the background some saffron. Dense, gripping tannin on the palate, concentrated core, salty finish, good length. (Oct 2020)"

94 points Antonio Galloni (Vinous): "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. Drink: 2024-2036. (Feb 2020)"
94 points Wine Spectator: "[$138 list] A fresh, crystalline red, exhibiting flavors of cherry, strawberry, iron and tobacco affixed to a firm, unyielding backbone of dense yet refined tannins, finishing long and satisfying. Excellent balance. Best from 2023 through 2040. 833 cases made, 500 cases imported. (11/30/20)"
18/20 points Alistair Cooper MW (Jancis Robinson): "Gorgeous nose, very expressive – classic. More powerful than the other cuvées from this producer in 2016 and still a little unrelenting. Needs lots of time but has all the power and fruit as well as freshness and impressive structure. Drink: 2023-2033. (Nov 2019)"
