95 points Wine Enthusiast
"Intensely fragrant, this offers enticing scents of iris, violet and rose that mix with perfumed berry and botanical herbs. It's loaded with finesse and flavor, doling out raspberry compote, crushed Morello cherry, licorice and a hint of mocha while taut, fine-grained tannins provide support. Fresh acidity keeps it impeccably balanced. Drink 2023–2035."
94 points Decanter
"Einaudi always make an excellent wine from this celebrated Barolo vineyard, and 2015 is no exception. In this vintage, the wine was aged initially in barriques and then in large casks. The red-fruited nose is smoky and vibrant with some oak in evidence, but there's also a floral charm here. The attack is firm and assertive, but the tannins are finely tuned and discreet, giving the wine polish and vigour. Punchy and very long."
Jancis Robinson
"Barolo. Pale to mid garnet. Very fresh, almost blossomy – certainly vegetation – nose. Like a breath of spring rather than the usual Langhe autumn on the nose. Mouth-filling and very convincing. Lots to chew on but super-clean. Builds towards the end. 18/20 points."
