The 2008 Barolo Terlo flows from the glass with freshly cut flowers, spices and sweet red cherries. The Terlo stands out for its juicy, Pinot-like fruit and fleshy, expressive personality. This is one of the more attractive, early appealing Baroli I tasted. The 2008 has enough richness to be delicious today, although there is little question it will be even better in a few years- time. It is sophisticated, sleek and impeccably refined from the very first taste. Anticipated maturity: 2013-2020.
Einaudi has been one of the great recent success stories in Piemonte over the last few years. Under the leadership of energetic proprietor Matteo Sardagna, Einaudi's Baroli have never been better.
