2013 Barolo Cannubi Luigi Einaudi

Aromas of cream, light toffee, mushrooms and plums follow through to a full body, silky tannins and a fresh and clean finish. Very tannic yet the tannins are ripe and polished. Try in 2021.

This is just a terrific wine that shows classic lines with bright fruit intensity that should remain intact for years to come. The 2013 Barolo Cannubi is an age- worthy interpretation with wild berry fruit, grilled herb, licorice and dark spice. The ensemble is elegant and compact with potential to gain in volume and length. There is steady firmness here spread over finely textured tannins. 2019 - 2040.

The 2013 Barolo Cannubi brings together the sweet, floral aromatics that are so typical of this site, with silky tannins and vibrant fruit. Sweet red cherry, wild flowers, mint and rose petals built into the finely- spun finish. Sensual and beautifully layered in the glass, the 2013 Cannubi is a highly appealing wine to drink now and over the next decade, perhaps beyond. The Cannubi also gives the distinct impression it will drink well earlier than the Costa Grimaldi.

Red Aromatic, displaying rose, strawberry, cherry and currant flavors, accented by leather, tobacco, iron and tea notes. Firm tannins lay a base of support. Best from 2022 through 2040.-B.S.
