I am impressed with the harmony and length in this young wine. It shows plenty of dried fruits and flowers. Just a hint of new wood. And the tannins are ripe and balanced. Check back after 2013. Rating: 90 James Suckling, www.jamessuckling.com (Apr 2014)

A masculine style, displaying tar, prune, black cherry and eucalyptus notes. The tannins emerge as this crosses the palate, expanding on the lingering, spice- and leather-filled finish. Be patient. Best from 2014 through 2032. Rating: 93 The Wine Spectator, www.winespectator.com (Jun 2013)

The 2006 Barolo Costa Grimaldi reveals superb intensity in its dark cherries, violets, menthol and spices. Medium to full in body, the Costa Grimaldi reveals exceptional length all the way through to the pure, finessed finish. This is the most powerful of the estate’s 2006 Barolos. It is a magnificent Barolo from Einaudi. 2016-2026 Rating: 94 Antonio Galloni, www.vinous.com (Jun 2013)

Classy stuff. A rollercoaster of a ride for the senses - one second this wine screams creamy, oaky refinement and the next, charming pretty cherry fruit. Bright and breezy on the palate and yet it's undeniably gutsy too - enjoyment on so many flavour levels. Rating: 93 The Wine Gang - www.thewinegang.com (May 2011)

Podere Luigi Einaudi

Firmly established as one of Dogliani's leading estates, Giorgio Ruffo (married to Paola Einaudi) continues to produce quite outstanding Dolcettos in a class well above any others we have tasted, and outstanding Barolos which are among the finest and most elegant of the region. Robert Parker recently wrote: ' Consulting oenologist Beppe Caviola has been instrumental in ratcheting up the quality at this historic property. I can't think of too many estates that have made such significant strides in just the last few years.'
