90-93 points - In the super-hot 2003 the best positions suffered the most, as is demonstrated by this year's Cannubi Boschis. Though it shows attractive notes of spices, toasted oak, licorice and dark fruit the wine is overwhelmed by its hard tannins. Today it comes across as unbalanced and lacking the harmony of the best vintages here. That said, this powerhouse Barolo has evolved surprisingly since I first started tasting it two years ago and Sandrone has an outstanding long-term track record, so it will be interesting to see how this wine develops over the next few years.
