Luigi Einaudi, Barolo Vigna Costa Grimaldi, 2009
A single-cru Barolo from Einaudi's historic Terlo holding, in the heart of its window. Vigna Costa Grimaldi sits in the Terlo cru of Barolo village — a calcareous-marl parcel that Luigi Einaudi himself purchased in 1958, planted to the estate's oldest Nebbiolo vines. Terlo is a quieter name among Barolo's great crus, but the wine is one of Einaudi's flagships: structured, tannic, and built for the long haul. The 2009 vintage was warm and generous, and at sixteen years on, this is settling into its drinking window — ripe red and dark cherry, licorice, tobacco, and the cru's signature spiced finish. Tannins are firm but ripe, the wine still has years of cellar life ahead, and it shows beautifully now with patient air.
