Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, January 2007

The estateâ_Ts 2003 Barolo Costa Grimaldi is made in a linear, focused style, with an additional layer of sweet spiciness from the oak that complements the poised, ripe dark fruit. It, too, reveals outstanding persistence on the palate and a long, fresh finish. It should offer highly pleasurable drinking in another year or two. Anticipated maturity: 2009-2018. Einaudi has produced an especially strong set of Barolos in 2003. Proprietor Matteo Sardagna told me he wasnâ_Tt convinced about the quality of the vintage at the outset so he decided to use lower percentage of new oak than normal. That turns out to have been a very wise decision, as these wines offer superb richness as well as detail, the latter of which was particularly hard to come by in 2003. Readers should also consider the estateâ_Ts Dolcettos, which are among the most unique wines being made in the region. The Vigna Tecc is particularly noteworthy, and is now labeled under the new Dogliani designation. Importer: Empson, USA, Alexandria, VA; tel. (703) 684-0900

Offers very pretty berry and blackberry aromas, with hints of chocolate. Full-bodied, with silky tannins and a lively finish. This shows marvelous balance for the vintage. Best after 2010. 280 cases made. –JS
