Community Tasting Note

Friday, April 29, 2016 - Strawberries, raspberries and red liquorice are complimented by roses and base of river stones. After an hour or so, there is a pleasantly tart and just slightly bitter component; much like eating an unprocessed cranberry with tannins that are firm but never harsh. Really gets going after 6 hours as the wine becomes a bit darker, thicker and sweeter. There is an unmistakeable Ravera connection to the Langhe Nebbiolo, albeit with an added layer of refinement from the CSL and depth which I imagine is the Le Coste. While the Brunate is a powerhouse of balsam and tar, this Tre Tine is a lithe yet elegant expression of G. Rinaldi which should not be overlooked.

This will surely improve with age, but I really enjoy following nebbiolo's evolution along the way. If you can, treat yourself to a bottle now because it would be a pity to miss out on this delicious window of youthful exuberance.
