Community Tasting Notes 4

  August 31, 2017 - Needs two hours at least to open, I see now. At first its tannic and closed, constricted. But with time the wine is unmistakably of a place, and it shows detailed and complex floral, tar, dark fruit flavors. A wine that seems to need an event to pair with, not something to drink by the glass

  August 7, 2017 - Had a glass at a BBQ crowded with lots of wine, so cannot really evaluate, but will say that I was not terribly impressed. The wine is correct and fine, with a surprisingly youthful feel to the structure and tannins, but with a faded feeling to the fruit, and without any real energy or pungency.

  October 23, 2012 - Against the other Rinaldi's I've had, this is the least impressive. It has wonderful fruitiness and lightness with some very, however indistrinct tannins. It's been more than a week since I had it so I cannot give more detailed description. The wine, however, would go very well with pizza or a medium-heavy pasta, and was well worth its money!

  December 1, 2011 - A bit reductive at first, then mineral and rust. Dark berries, a bit matured fruit. Fresh in the mouth with a pleasant bitterness in the end. Probably even better tomorrow.
  Yes, better on day 2.
