Luigi Einaudi Barolo nei Cannubi 1996

Luigi Einaudi Barolo nei Cannubi 1996: A colour which suggests some maturity although this is quite normal for Nebbiolo. A haunting nose, offering up aromas of tar, leather, rose-petals and sweet-smoked fruits. The palate is still gripped by fairly fierce acidity and some decent tannins, but there is plenty of body to see these out. Good sweet, perfumed fruit and a lovely length. Will be lovely in five years. 16.5+/20 (16/9/03)
