| Poderi Einaudi | Barolo Cannubi DOCG | 2014 | James Suckling | 25/09/2018 | 90 | ||||||
Verbiage“Nice aromas of floras, candied lemons and dried cherries. A generous body with supple tannins, making this an easy Barolo to enjoy now. Good length, but lacks some of the excitement that the best wines from this vintage have. Outstanding still. Drink or hold.” – James Suckling, Sept. 25, 2018 |

Verbiage“Very aromatic and bright with tar, dark-berry and cherry aromas. Full-bodied, tight and chewy with integrated and polished tannins. Shows depth and power for the vintage. This needs a few years to soften. Try it in 2021.” – James Suckling, Sept. 25, 2018 |
