96 points Monica Larner (Wine Advocate): "This is a real beauty. Poderi Luigi Einaudi has expertly managed to interpret this legendary cru in a classic vintage. The 2021 Barolo Cannubi is a finely textured wine with a long succession of aromatic high tones that include cassis, licorice, smoke, iris and something almost citrusy in character. The wine is tight but streamlined on the palate, and it pushes forward with long, polished intensity. Drink 2027-2045 (Jan 2025)"
96 points Ian D'Agata Wine Review: "Bright red. Knockout, intense nose of violet, sour red cherry, blueberry and medicinal herbs: simply put, this exudes a really lovely perfume. Then suave ad very Cannubi in its graceful, dainty delivery of red fruit and mineral flavours. Lovely balance and a refined mouthfeel that lingers impressively make this stunning wine an absolute winner. I repeat, this is a knockout Cannubi made with grapes picked in the best part (when it’s not too droughty, at least) of the extended Cannubi hill (the Cannubi Centrale). Drinking window: 2030-2040. (Nov 2024)"
95 points Wine Spectator: "A stylish red, exhibiting cherry, strawberry, rose and stony mineral flavors. Linear, elegant and verging on racy, this shows finesse and detail, with impeccable balance. The well-integrated structure extends on the finish. Best from 2028 through 2047. 833 cases made, 125 cases imported. (Feb 2025)"
94 points James Suckling: "A classic Barolo with dried cherries, dried roses and violets, licorice and pomegranates. Medium- to full-bodied on the palate, it shows ripe, elegant tannins, refreshing acidity and a tense, chewy finish. Drinkable now, but best in two three years due to its tension. (Jan 2025)"
