95 points Wine Spectator: "Rich and fleshy, this red boasts cherry, strawberry, earth and eucalyptus aromas and flavors. There's density but also vibrant acidity driving the lingering conclusion. Shows fine overall balance, with refined tannins. Best from 2029 through 2048. 445 cases made, 50 cases imported. (Apr 2025)"
95 points Ian D'Agata Wine Review: "Big, even massive on the palate for a Barolo from the territory of Barolo, with a full-bodied personality and monolithic red fruit, tobacco and herb aromas and flavours. Every time I drink Einaudi’s Terlo I come away thinking that not all the site deserves a premier or grand cru status, but the Costa Grimaldi vineyard owned by Einaudi is instead the real deal, and this wine is excellent. Drinking window: 2029-2039 (Nov 2024)"
95 points Monica Larner (Wine Advocate): "The Poderi Luigi Einaudi 2021 Barolo Terlo Vigna Costa Grimaldi is already silky and glossy in texture with a beautiful entry to the palate. There is a long slide of cassis and wild cherry followed by soft violet, sweet almond and licorice. Those Terlo tannins are firm but not excessively so, and the wine's texture is poised to become ever-more silky in time. Drink 2026-2045 (Jan 2025)"
95 points Kerin O'Keefe: "Blue flower, truffle, menthol, rhubarb and cedar aromas slowly take shape on the 2021 Terlo Vigna Costa Grimaldi. It’s full-bodied and polished, featuring ripe cherry, cranberry, star anise and blood orange accompanied by taut, fine-grained tannins. Fresh acidity keeps it well balanced. Drink 2028–2036. (Feb 2025)"
94 points Raffaele Vecchione (WinesCritic.com): "Live and expressive, it shows a three-dimensional sensorial profile rich in white flowers, crunchy red notes of currants and cherries and mixed citrus fruits. Full body, soft tannins of excellent quality and a joyful and essential finish. Better from 2026. (Jan 2025)"
