2013 Giuseppe Rinaldi Barolo Tre Tine
Community Tasting Note

Sunday, January 28, 2018 - Opened last night. Lighter ruby. Powerful, penetrating menthol aromas. Medium weight, light red fruit, acids which bore right through the mouth, grainy tannins, and tremendous finishing soil which persists on the palate. Not easy or charming right now, and very different in this respect from the Brunate. Old style, built for the long haul.

I managed to scrounge up one bottle of each of those three (each Rinaldi + Bartolo) on my recent trip to Italy and hand-carried them back. Glad to hear they were all showing well, and I wish I could find more here at anything approaching a reasonable price. Where did you pick these up? Locally?
