2010 Giuseppe Rinaldi Barolo Tre TineNebbiolo more |
9/18/2015 - dcwino wrote: 97 pointsI was really curious as how this is showing compare to a year ago. Pop and pour, incredible pure expressive nose displaying crushed blackberry, strawberry, dry cherry, a hint of VA, licorice, mineral, coffee and dark spices. Just incredibly refine and polished palate, strong presence of iron driven mineral, ripe licorice and strawberry driven palate impression, incredible sweet silky tannins which is incredibly sensual, bright acidity and seamless noble finish that resonates. Drank over a three nights and with air, it started to show a bit more VA, also tar and strong presence of iron. The palate starts to show more iron and acidity. The tannins become much more noticeable but not bothersome. So refined, pure and polished. It is also structured to age. Antonio seems to love Rinaldi and I can totally relate to that. One of the greatest value out there, relatively speaking of course. |

6/2/2010 - River Rat wrote: 70 pointsOh what a disappointment. Not that I was expecting greatness but this wine was undrinkable for me. A heavy nose of urinal cake, dirty urinal cake that did not blow off even after 3 hours. The nose overpowered everything else this wine could muster up. Hope it worked as a drain cleaner. It made the 2007 Perrin and Fils Cotes du Rhone Reserve I opened in its' place taste downright collectible. After enjoying Graton Ridge's Estate Pinot Noir I was really looking forward to their PS. Buyer beware.
