Rose, menthol, and liquorice on the nose. Dark and brooding in the mouth despite a lithe weight, with firm tannins leading to a tight finish. This needs another 9-12 years, minimum.

Italian menu tonight so wanted a nice Barolo. This Rinaldi hit the spot with its finesse, aromatics & structure showing red fruits, leather, dried tea, rose petal with balsamic notes & tobacco.

This is a wow wine from Rinaldi that needed some air to reveal its depth & aromatics showing great energy & grip with dark cherry, underbrush, licorice, crushed rock, balsamic & violet.

Fantastic. Red fruit with tobacco overtones. Well constructed and drinking really well right now.

Bright cherry with the classic tar & roses more of an elegant, floral style with power & lifted fruits.
