    Clear, deep ruby color. Fine, deep, complex nose with lots of rose petals. On the palate salty, dense, closed, fine fruit, drying tannin and rather short. Will it open up and develop complexity and length with more time? Not sure. Might also be a not perfectly stored bottle... 89-90

Flight 3 - After tasting (3 Notes)

  • 2016 Giuseppe Rinaldi Barolo Brunate 92 Points

    Italy, Piedmont, Langhe, Barolo

    Glass: Riedel Vinum Pinot
    Clear, medium ruby-garnet color. Fine, elegant nose. On the palate not optimal, we assumed a not optimal stored bottle. Still very good, but not as bright as it should be. You can feel the elegance, but it is somehow restrained and the finish is a bit nutty. 92
