An attractive nose offering notes of spiced cherries and raspberries together with citrus peel, hints of cedar and potpourri. Medium- to full-bodied, fresh and characterful with a sandy texture to its tannins. Firm and structured. Try after 2026.

Poderi Einaudi Barolo Ludo DOCG 2020 James Suckling 09/01/2024 92

A fresh and fragrant nose with cherries, dried cranberries, hints of rose hips, sandalwood and dried orange. Some wet stone character, too. Bright and juicy on the medium-bodied palate with dusty tannins and savory character to the red fruit and vivid acidity. Textured and chalky. Attractive now, but better after 2026.

This is racy and fresh with dried strawberries, dark cherries, cocoa and light spices adding a dusty, earthy note to it. Medium- to full-bodied, broad and structured with taut, polished tannins. Yet it’s agile and fleshy with ripe red fruit and subtle chocolate undertones at the end. Long finish. Try after 2027.
