“Sweet and perfumed nose of green pepper, anise and tarragon. Sweet, lush and full palate with notes of seasoned wood and leather. A very different but really attractive expression of Montalcino.” – Decanter, Apr. 2015

Cellar Selection “Aromas of menthol, leather, pressed violet, forest floor and woodland berry lead off this intense Brunello. The firm, delicious palate offers dried red cherry, crushed raspberry, ground white pepper and licorice alongside a backbone of assertive but fine-grained tannins and racy acidity. It’s impeccably balanced and elegant but still young, so give it time to develop to its full potential. Drink 2020–2035.” -Kerin O’Keefe, Wine Enthusiast May 2015

“Made from Carricante vines that are between 100 and 120 years old, this offers intense aromas of honey, acacia, Spanish broom and white fruit. The vibrant palate is layered with concentrated peach, grapefruit and a sprinkling of Mediterranean herbs alongside brisk acidity. A mineral note signals the close.” – Kerin O’Keefe, Wine Enthusiast, Apr. 2015

“Ripe and full bodied, this has aromas of lightly toasted oak, vanilla, red berry and coffee. On the palate, notes of mocha, anisette and grilled herb accent crushed wild cherry while bracing tannins provide structure. It closes on a licorice note.” – Kerin O’Keefe, Wine Enthusiast, Apr. 2015

“Aromas suggest wild red berry, rose and brimstone. The lively palate delivers sour cherry, crushed raspberry, white pepper, cinnamon, flint and orange peel. Tightly wound but polished tannins and brisk acidity provide the framework.” – Kerin O’Keefe, Wine Enthusiast, Apr. 2015

“A Barolo with beautiful berry, cappuccino and terra cotta character. Full body, round and velvety. Long finish. Better in 2018.” – James Suckling, Apr. 2015

“A wine with clay tile, berry and milk chocolate aromas and flavors. Full body, velvety and rich tannins. Savory finish. Better in 2017.” – James Suckling, Apr. 2015

“The 2011 Barolo Cannubi is the ripest and most overt of these three 2011 Barolos from Einaudi. Dense, powerful and immediate, the 2011 will appeal most to readers who enjoy extroverted wines. There is no shortage of intensity in the rich, dark fruit, although personally I would like to see a little more site expression. 2018- 2031” -Antonio Galloni, Vinous, March 2015

“The 2011 Barolo Terlo Vigna Costa Grimaldi is the most complete of the wines in this range, largely the result of this site’s slightly shelted exposure, something that is always an asset in warmer years. Expressive aromatic overtones add lift and precision to a core of pliant, racy fruit in a Barolo that captures the best qualities of the vintage while retaining plenty of poise. Dark red stone fruits, cherry pit, menthol and cinnamon are some of the many notes that are laced into the enticing finish. The Costa Grimaldi is quite a bit deeper and darker than the straight Terlo, but it also has a bit more nuance and better overall balance. 2018-2036” -Antonio Galloni, Vinous, March 2015

“A taut, linear red, with burly tannins setting the pace, featuring bright cherry and berry flavors underneath. Ripe and long, gaining richness with air. Enjoy with food or decant carefully. Drink now through 2019. 2,000 cases made.” —B.S., Wine Spectator, Mar. 2015
