| Community Tasting Notes (average 92.1 pts. and median of 92 pts. in 25 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by Grapetimescomin on 4/8/2024 & rated 94 points: Perhaps slightly better than the last time. Tar and cherries. Great aged barolo. Crowd pleaser. Drink now. (76 views) | | | Tasted by Preed on 8/17/2023 & rated 92 points: Lovely old barolo. (177 views) | | | Tasted by liber on 6/4/2023 & rated 91 points: 4th of 12, pnp, perfect level, half stained cork, lighter and less assertive than last July's bottle, greater transparency and brown rim emerging, attractive rose flavours added to bouquet but hint of taint on palate, hence downgrade, burly tannins give slight sense of unbalance, entering plateau, 10+ years. F (17.5). (283 views) | | | Tasted by Grapetimescomin on 10/23/2022 & rated 93 points: Just the way I would expect a 23 year old Barolo to taste. To me the palate was the perfect mix of morello cherries and tar / pencil lead. It is in a very good spot in its evolution. I don't think it will get "better" but it will evolve and continue to be very good! (212 views) | | | Tasted by tobyc on 9/4/2022 & rated 91 points: Chocolate, leather, coffee. Aged but refined w. good structure. Gritty tannins and retained acidity. Earthy and leathery notes.
At a good stage now so drink. (563 views) | | | Tasted by indiscriminate palate on 7/29/2022 & rated 92 points: pronounced nose of dark berries and wood. On the palate, cedar, leather, black cherry. medium tannin that are quite approachable. medium-plus to high acid. medium-long finish. Drinking beautifully, though no hurry. very nice. (521 views) | | | Tasted by liber on 7/27/2022 & rated 93 points: 3rd of 12, pnp, perfect level, dry crumbly cork, clean, layered, good fruit covered structure with some unresolved dry tannin, attractive and little changed from bottle noted in December 2018, upside, 10+ years. F+ (18)......surprisingly heady for Barolo! (494 views) | | | Tasted by Val D'Orcia on 2/13/2021 & rated 91 points: Very nice more middle-weight Barolo. It had smoke, mushroom and mature red fruits. We drink more traditional Barolo with more pronounced leather and tobacco notes, but this was an enjoyable difference and went perfectly with our osso buco! (908 views) | | | Tasted by liber on 12/29/2018 & rated 93 points: 2nd of 12, decanted an hour, perfect cork and level - med/dark, translucent, garnet, hint of development on rim,; classic rose/cherry/violet bouquet with nice hint of spice, earth and truffle; medium/full, long, persistent, surprisingly complex, nice freshness and balance, better and better in glass after struggling initially to show, early days. At least F+ (18)…..first bottle in 13 marked by unresolved tannin and was hard work, if with all the right elements! (1263 views) | | | Tasted by Derek Darth Taster on 8/5/2017 & rated 93 points: Drank from bottle over 2 hours.
Appearance is clear, medium intensity, garnet colour. Legs.
Nose is clean, medium intesnity, with aromas of mushrooms, earth, black cherries, sour red cherries, leather, slight floral violets. Developed.
On the palate, dry, high acidity, medium+ alcohol (14.5%), smooth resolved high tannins, full body. Medium+ flavour intensity, with flavours of mushrooms, earth, black cherries, sour red cherries, sweet herbs, slight meat. Long finish.
Very good quality. Time to drink up and enjoy. Will probably not improve anymore with further ageing. (1890 views) | | | Tasted by NineteenEightyTwo on 5/3/2016 & rated 91 points: Medium-dark rosewood color with faint signs of bricking at the corona. This has a pretty nose of violet, with tertiary aromas of ash and pine starting to emerge. The palate starts with a sharp fruity flavor, like biting into a crisp red apple, before transitioning at midpalate to more herbaceous flavors. This finishes with a dry minerality and the persistent flavor of blackcurrants. The overall impression is of a wine which is poised and possesses strong character, without ever becoming heavy or overbearing. Well balanced between fruit and acidic structure, this is entering a prime drinking window and should be enjoyable for the next 5 years. (2490 views) | | | Tasted by Rezy13 on 7/19/2013 & rated 88 points: Very dark core with slightly browning copper edges; nose hits you with some initial soy and charcoal and a sweetness that I usually get from oak treatment, underneath there is some dark cherry and sandalwood; palate is better than the nose, but as is the case a little linear, tannin was not so rough; clearly this bottle was a little advanced still good none the less; still waiting for a Nei Cannubi to really show me all it has. (4042 views) | | | Tasted by bconly on 5/5/2013 & rated 94 points: Drinking really well right now. Still pretty tannic, so give it a couple hours of air. (3807 views) | | | Tasted by Preed on 12/22/2012 & rated 92 points: Delicious Barolo. The tannins are soft, smooth but dry. Cherry Tabacco flavors. Drinking well now but could last for many more years (3973 views) | | | Tasted by unrelenting on 11/6/2012: I'd score it an 89 but not making it official because it might be attributable to the 1 hour decant or the fact I didn't ppurchase it on release. Harsh tannins with little finish. Certainly enough body to last for a while so I'd give it a few years. Surprised by the other scores. (3880 views) | | | Tasted by Li on 4/10/2011: Nydelig Barolo. Drukket til middag med venner, så ikke skrevet noe notat. Den hadde en fin ruby kjerne med garnet kant. Erketypisk Barolo på nesen med ingen tegn til eik! God syre og merkbare tanniner som gjorde den til en ypperlig matvin. God lengde. Jeg mener at den er helt i starten på sitt drikkevindu, og vil helt sikkert bli bedre med flere år på langs. Drikk nå til 2025. (3869 views) | | | Tasted by il_diavolo on 3/7/2011 & rated 92 points: small portion to taste, decanted 2 hrs. more about finesse and balance than power but is a very nice barolo. ready to drink but will last 5-10 years. floral nose, on palate roses/flowers and tar. nice medium/long finish. at age 12, a great advertisement for a below-the-radar producer. (2888 views) | | | Tasted by Hoquayle on 11/17/2010 & rated 94 points: Fantastic. Best Barolo (2655 views) | | | Tasted by vendange on 8/31/2008 & rated 91 points: Extremely enjoyable; showing great with food. Notably floral with notes of tar, smoke, bay, camphor, and prunes. Fairly sweet on the palate with cherry flavors. Plenty of tannins but not overly dry or astringent. Better in 3-5 years. (2807 views) | | | Tasted by GuruofAV on 3/23/2008 & rated 93 points: Nose of blackberries, rassberries, and black cherries. Rich mouthfeel, very long sour cherry finish. Firm tannins, could easily last for 5 more years. (2953 views) |

| Poderi Luigi Einaudi Producer websitePoderi Luigi Einaudi Barolo CannubiThere has been some confusion about the names "Nei Cannubi" and "Cannubi".
According to the producer it is the same wine, but in 2009 they chose to leave the "Nei" out of the name.NebbioloNebbiolo is a red grape indigenous to the Piedmont region of Italy in the Northwest. The grape can also be found in other parts of the world, though they are not as respected.
Nebbiolo is often considered the "king of red wines," as it is the grape of the famed wines of Barolo DOCG, Barbaresco DOCG, and Roero DOCG. It is known for high tannins and acidity, but with a distinct finesse. When grown on clay, Nebbiolo can be very powerful, tannic, and require long aging periods to reach its full potential. When grown on sand, the grape exhibits a more approachable body with more elegant fruit and less tannins, but still has high aging potential.
"Nebbiolo" is named for the Italian word, "nebbia", which means "fog", in Italian and rightfully so since there is generally a lot of fog in the foothills of Piedmont during harvest.
Nebbiolo is a late-ripening variety that does best in a continental climate that boasts moderate summers and long autumns. In Piedmont, Nebbiolo is normally harvested in October.

On weinlagen-infoLanghe Consorzio di Tutela Barolo Barbaresco Alba Langhe e Roero | Union of Producers of Albese Wines (Albeisa)BaroloRegional History:
The wines of Piedmont are noted as far back as Pliny's Natural History. Due to geographic and political isolation, Piedmont was without a natural port for most of its history, which made exportation treacherous and expensive. This left the Piedmontese with little incentive to expand production. Sixteenth-century records show a mere 14% of the Bassa Langa under vine -- most of that low-lying and farmed polyculturally. In the nineteenth century the Marchesa Falletti, a frenchwoman by birth, brought eonologist Louis Oudart from Champagne to create the first dry wines in Piemonte. Along with work in experimental vineyards at Castello Grinzane conducted by Camilo Cavour -- later Conte di Cavour, leader of the Risorgimento and first Prime Minister of Italy -- this was the birth of modern wine in the Piedmont. At the heart of the region and her reputation are Alba and the Langhe Hills. This series of weathered outcroppings south of the Tanaro River is of maritime origin and composed mainly of limestone, sand and clay, known as terra bianca. In these soils -located mainly around the towns of Barolo and Barbaresco -- the ancient allobrogica, now Nebbiolo, achieves its renowned fineness and power.
