• Score: 96 Vintage 2021 The Wine Advocate This is a real beauty. Poderi Luigi Einaudi has expertly managed to interpret this legendary cru in a classic vintage. The 2021 Barolo Cannubi is a finely textured wine with a long succession of aromatic high tones that include cassis, licorice, smoke, iris and something almost citrusy in character. The wine is tight but streamlined on the palate, and it pushes forward with long, polished intensity. Production is 9,480 bottles. Shelf Talker Full Page Review

• Score: 94 Vintage 2021 James Suckling A classic Barolo with dried cherries, dried roses and violets, licorice and pomegranates. Medium- to full-bodied on the palate, it shows ripe, elegant tannins, refreshing acidity and a tense, chewy finish. Drinkable now, but best in two three years due to its tension.

• Score: 93 Vintage 2021 Jeb Dunnuck The medium red 2021 Barolo Cannubi is a bit shy on the nose on opening, with aromas of dusty earth, cedar, pomegranate, and dried leather. Its more floral and pure profile comes through on the palate, with an elegant, medium-bodied feel, fine tannins, and a delicate weightlessness on the finish. It’s a very pretty wine with a more open-knit structure and is likely to show its best over the coming 8-10 years. Shelf Talker Full Page Review
• Score: 95 Vintage 2020 Wine Advocate The Poderi Luigi Einaudi 2020 Barolo Cannubi has a delicate and fine approach with redcurrant, fine fruit, blue flower, crushed stone and crushed curry leaf. There is a savory hint of dried tobacco leaf as well. The Cannubi is fine and finessed throughout, although you do get some of the character of the hot vintage with a tiny splash of extra concentration or thickness. Production is 12,673 bottles.

• Score: 94 Vintage 2020 James Suckling This is racy and fresh with dried strawberries, dark cherries, cocoa and light spices adding a dusty, earthy note to it. Medium- to full-bodied, broad and structured with taut, polished tannins. Yet it’s agile and fleshy with ripe red fruit and subtle chocolate undertones at the end. Long finish. Try after 2027.
