2004 BAROLO Cannubi Podere Luigi Einaudi
| Grapes: Nebbiolo | Origin: Italy, Piedmont |
Lea & Sandeman review
The Cannubi 2004 is perhaps even more promising. Richer and more full bodied than the Costa Grimaldi, this has the power and structure that makes the Cannubi vineyard so famous, with soft and sweet tannins giving a very long finish. Less immediately approachable and another wine for drinking over two decades.Other reviews and comments
Deep red. Captivating floral nose dominated by rose petal. Wonderfully silky and juicy in the mouth, with strong acidity and floral perfume giving lift to the middle palate. Finishes with explosive vinosity, expanding floral perfume and very suave tannins. A beauty. Not to beat a dead horse, but these wines could hardly be more different in style than the Einaudi bottlings of just a decade ago, which showed strong material but far more rustic aromas and flavors.

In a bordeaux bottle because it's aged in Bordeaux barrels.
Bright red. Light bonfire nose. Very sweet fruit on the front palate - much richer than the botte-aged Grimaldi. And then it tightens up. Very dry finish. But there is lots tucked in here. 14%

The estate's classy, elegant 2004 Barolo Nei Cannubi is even more promising. It reveals a richly concentrated personality with the compelling perfumed inner sweetness that is the hallmark of this great vineyard. The wine offers terrific energy and structure, with gorgeous, silky tannins that round out the sweet, lingering finish. The Cannubi was still in oak when I tasted it in mid-November 2007. Anticipated maturity: 2011-2024.
