The Poderi Luigi Einaudi 2012 Barolo Cannubi takes a brief departure from the delicate floral and ethereal aromas usually associated with this important vineyard site. Instead, the wine offers a greater degree of darkness, richness and intensity. What it gains in power, it ultimately relinquishes in complexity. There is more dark fruit on display and a riper style to behold.

Einaudi's 2012 Barolo Cannubi is another huge, intense wine. Big, rich and explosive in style, the 2012 possesses notable depth and concentration in a style that is shockingly rich for Cannubi. There isn't a whole lot of subtlety here, but there is plenty of power. Here, too, readers will have to be patient. Still, I don't expect the 2012 will ever be particularly polished.

Leather, underbrush, earth, iris and woodland berry are some of the scents you'll discover on this structured wine. The concentrated palate delivers tart red cherry, licorice, cinnamon and sage before leading into a juicy finish. Firm tannins offer support. Drink 2018-2026.

Delicious from start to finish", commented one of our tasters. Einaudi's 2012 Cannubi begins with flavors of juicy black plum balanced by a meaty savor. The flavors fill out over time, taking on richer notes of dark licorice and roasted fennels that add to the wine's savoury character. It feels chewy and dense, ready to take on a crown roast.

A lean, austere style, with tannins matched to the fruit. Light cherry and strawberry notes up front struggle to hold their own. Fresh finish. Best from 2017 through 2028. 950 cases made.
