Tasting notes
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.

Barolo. Youthful mid ruby. Concentrated nose, which is just a little leathery. Cherry fruit on the palate with lots of chew on the finish. Straightforward. (WS)
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.
Barolo. Very light and slight on the palate. Better fragrance on the nose and finish, but this is a very subtle style overall. Even so, good length and freshness. (RH)
