Luigi Einaudi Barolo Costa Grimaldi 2004

BN#232443

A wine of great class which ages well, of a brilliant garnet red with distinctive orange tinges which intensify with age; of an intense and persistent fragrance, of full austere and velvety flavour, rightly tannic, with a lingering “goudron” and spicy final taste. Derived from the Nebbiolo grapes from the Costa Grimaldi vineyard owned by the Einaudi estate, facing Barolo in the Terlo area. The alcohol content is between 13.5 and 14.5% vol. with tannic characteristics which guarantee a life in bottle of up to 25-30 years in the best years. With time it acquires complexity as the ethereal aromas of spices, truffles and leather substitute the fruitiness of the first years of its life.

Wine Advocate The 2004 Barolo Costa Grimaldi is a promising wine. This sweet, generous wine is endowed with an attractive plumpness to its fruit, with well-integrated oak and soft tannins that caress the palate through to the long finish. It offers superb balance, poise and harmony. Costa Grimaldi is made from the best parcels in Via Nuova vineyard in Barolo. The wine had been moved into steel tank from oak a few weeks before my visit. 2009-2022. Score range 91-94. Score: 94. —Antonio Galloni, December 2007.
