97 points Falstaff Guide (11/27/15).
96 points and 'Top 100 Cellar Selections 2015 (#42),' Wine Enthusiast: "[$165 list] Initially shy and brooding, it eventually reveals a potpourri of aromas, including forest floor, graphite, wild berry, mint, rose and a balsamic note. The palate delivers layers of ripe red cherry, black raspberry, tobacco, ground pepper, menthol and cinnamon alongside youthfully assertive but ripe tannins. Drink 2019-2031. Alcohol 14.5%. (Oct 2015)"
96 points James Suckling: "Dark red fruit with dried strawberries and sliced plums on the nose, as well as some dried fruit and cedar. Full-bodied and very chewy for a Cannubi. Tannic and powerful. Very old-style. Muscular. Try after 2023. (5/31/21)"
95+ points Antonio Galloni (Vinous): "[$165 list] Sandrone's 2011 Barolo Cannubi Boschis is a drop-dead gorgeous beauty. Flashy, supple and radiant, the 2011 is already quite open and expressive. Cannubi Boschis impresses for its centerdness, solid core of fruit and exceptional overall balance. This gorgeous, voluptuous beauty is shaping up to be a jewel of a wine. Next to the sensual, layered Le Vigne, the Cannubi Boschis is a decidedly vertical, powerful Barolo. (Sep 2014)"
95 points Monica Larner (Wine Advocate): "[$165 list] Luciano Sandrone's 2011 Barolo Cannubi Boschis is shaping up to be one of the protagonists of the vintage. I say "shaping up" because the wine is still in a youthful stage and has yet to open up fully. Tight and firm, it shows the potential for enormous depth and dimension with dark fruit, spice, licorice and white truffle. If you taste through Sandrone's older vintages, it is apparent that they perform exceptionally well in warm years like 2011. It promises a rewarding evolution ahead but I would suggest waiting five more years before popping the cork. Drink: 2018-2030. (Jun 2015)"
94 points and 'Year's Best Barolo & Barbaresco (2015),' Wine & Spirits: "[$165 list] Sandrone's southeast-facing Boschis plot on the Cannubi hill holds the warmth of the morning sun, the grapes growing lush and layered in flavor. Dark notes of chocolate and espresso mellow with air, allowing notes of black plum and baked cherry edged with baking spice, mint and tobacco to come to the fore. It lingers on the palate with impressive length. (Dec 2015)"
93 points Wine Spectator: "[$165 list] Cherry flavors mingle with wild herb and underbrush notes in this red. Shows purity and a linear profile, backed by a solid structure. Lingering finish. Best from 2019 through 2032. 150 cases imported. (9/23/15)"
