• 2006 Poderi Luigi Einaudi Barolo Terlo 93 Points

  Italy, Piedmont, Langhe, Barolo

  Deep crimson core, some clarity, rusty rim; beautiful nose, exotic and sexy Nebbiolo, sandalwood, wormwood, sexy pure red cherry, roses galore, mint; a bit more muscular on the palate, slight cedar, sweet cherry that is slightly dried, some leather and a touch of rusty clay; to me this is extremely classic; nailed it on the head; very good stuff in a good spot now with some air.

  Mine; bright yellow with green hues; deep sour red apple, slight grain, a bitter note, sour yellow fruit, pulpy; fuller richer on the palate, slight honey, melon, razor acidity in the back, a slight creamy quality in the mid, spice not from oak, quince; recommend serving a touch warmer with some airtime; would like to see with 3 more years; great wine.

A good night when a nice bottle of Montille is the "worst" wine of the night.
