September 18, 2015 - I 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.
