Three Glasses, Gambero Rosso (2013).

99 points Falstaff: "Clear, lively garnet. Open and accessible nose with beautiful, matured notes of liquorice, lots of raspberry, tobacco, very inviting. Unfolds on the palate with rich, fine-meshed tannin, builds up multilayered, salty and profound, beautiful, ripe fruit, very long finish. It is just at the beginning of its full glory, very polished. (7/6/18)"

95 points Antonio Galloni (Wine Advocate): "[$165 list] The 2008 Barolo Cannubi Boschis is stunningly beautiful. It, too, is quite subtle and understated. The 2008 is a gorgeous, mid-weight wine laced with sweet red cherries, flowers, spices, mint and minerals. This is a decidedly feminine, gracious Cannubi Boschis that impresses for its elegance, class and finesse. Sweet floral notes add brightness on the Pinot-like, vibrant finish. The wine keeps getting better and better in the glass. This, too, is a dazzling effort. Anticipated maturity: 2016-2028. (Apr 2012)"

95 points Stephen Tanzer (International Wine Cellar): "Good bright ruby-red. Deeper but less forthcoming on the nose than Le Vigne, hinting at black cherry, menthol and flowers. Then broader and deeper on the palate, conveying a more classically dry impression than the wonderfully sweet, round 2007. As creamy as this is, it's dominated today by its impression of energy and medicinal black cherry reserve. Most impressive right now on the tightly coiled, rising, electric finish, which unfurls spectacularly as the wine sits in the glass. A great expression of Cannubi terroir. (Oct/Nov 2011)"

94 points James Suckling: "This nose is divine. Aromas of perfumes, roses and ripe fruit. Full body, with fine tannins and a dark chocolate finish. Tight and very, very pretty. Needs to loosen up a bit with about three to four years of bottle age. Better in 2014. (7/19/12)"

93 points Wine Spectator: "In the menthol mode, with additional flavors of cherry, tobacco and hints of tar, this red is bright and focused. The dusty tannins on the finish are complemented by sweet fruit. Offers fine, chewy length. Best from 2017 through 2035. 125 cases imported. (12/5/12)"
