Rinaldi vertical at Franco’s house: Served double blind. Also in this case it looks and smells older than the same vintage’s Brunate but whereas, in the Brunate, the nose partial shutdown seems probably question of time, here there is no perception of inside power. However, it is probably the longest and enjoyable finish of a Tre Tine in the night and this actually helps a lot. 90

Ouvert durant 2 heures puis passé en carafe durant 2 heures avant consommation et finalement ce sont les derniers verres qui étaient les plus aboutis…après 6 heures! Robe rubis clair tirant sur la tuile. Peu d’arômes de fruits plutôt de violettes et de lavande, puis une brève phase plus oxydative et finalement des notes de goudron. Costaud en bouche, tanins encore proéminents, mais bel équilibre grâce à une fine acidité. Très belle longueur. Sans doute trop jeune, en tout cas a besoin de beaucoup d’air.
(Blind verkostet) Helles Granatrot, noch schöner Glanz. Feinduftig, etwas kühler anmutend, als der 2011er im Glas daneben, reine Frucht, Kirschen, Zwetschge, dazu Kräuter, mit mehr Luft Süssholz, Laub, top komplex. Im Gaumen gradlinig, kernig, noch jugendlich, der Wein zeigt eine sehr gute Balance aus Frucht und Struktur, doch die Tannine sind noch etwas wild, jedoch von hoher Qualität. Sehr langer Abgang, endet auf rote Kirschen und Süssholz. Aktuell ist der 2011er die bessere Wahl (weil deultich zugänglicher), doch der 2013er hat's in sich, bring insgesamt noch etwas mehr Komplexität und Länge. Ab 2027 bis 2040.

Great finesse here, good blackberry and forest fruits. Some tar and a hint of dried rose petals. Medium plus weight. Structure is still austere at this juncture - bracing acidity and tough but fine tannins. The structure will soften in a decade. Long with some complexity. Early drinking now but will be better in 10 years.

From Magnum and drunk over family gathering (lunch). No TN. 10 years is too young for a Barolo, especially from magnum? There is no doubt that these are capable of a wonderful evolution, and in case one had to choose, there are good reasons to wait. But the enjoyment this gave at this stage was just fantastic. Tannins are there and bite, but not painfully, and with food they serve their purpose. Aromatically it was subtle, interesting, complex. In a word: wonderful.

Evolved from the last bottle. Beautiful red bricking with aromas that are pungent yet not fully revealed; notes of of menthol, flowers, red cherries, and spice, But certainly more to come with time. The youthfulness is transparent on the palate with sweet, young and dryish tannins and firm acidity. The best is yet to come yet I enjoyed it tonight!
The ‘13 Tre Tine is a beautiful young Barolo, in need of time to be at its best. As I’ve found to be typical, the Tre Tine shows both a more classic flavor profile and a more classic tannic structure than the Brunate, and so arguably needs more time in the cellar.
The nose was beautifully perfumed with dark red cherry and plum fruit, leather, sweet spices, and red roses. It combines a beautiful sweetness of fruit with some rustic leather/meaty notes, a combination I find a lot in Rinaldi wines. On the palate, the wine was medium in body, with medium to high acidity, and a meaningful amount of fine grained tannin hitting on the back end. At this stage, it’s an intense wine. I found leather, raw meat, red cherry fruit, red roses, and licorice on the palate.

2013 Barolo tasting at 67PM: My first Rinaldi I believe and I wasn't disappointed, this was heads and shoulders above the other wines tonight. Obviously young but showed its pedigree with impeccable balance that only the best producers can achieve. Lovely restrained dark red fruit that was beautifully integrated with the other components of the wine. Not as seductive as the Bartolos that I have tried but a more imposing sort of wine with grippy yet refined tannins. Needs more time to become less primary but not a crime to drink this now. Ranked 1/9.

Jeroboam Club Tasting: Barolo 2013 (The Pump House, Bristol): 60% Ravera fruit, 35% Cannubi San Lorenzo and 15% Le Coste. Deep ruby. Barnyard and bread on the nose, quite Rhone-like. Dark fruits, washed wool, cassis, raspberry. Dense and weighty on the palate, yet also weightless. Dark toned. A tad dull in the mid-palate but zingy upfront and a nice juicy finish. Overall quite rustic - is this 100%?

Had to check on one.. who knows where will I be in ten years? PNP. Alluring nose of dried rose petals and wood spice. Palate has a wall a puckering wood tannin that screams for 10 years in the cellar, for a wine that will last much longer. Very elegant and refined nebbiolo, with dark red cherries taking a back seat to savory wood and leather tones, basalm, and precise acidity. Lengthy finish. I imagine this lacks the power of the Brunate I enjoy, but this a beautiful 2013 in it's own right. 94+. I wish that "+" did not come with the current price tag! 94+
With food (a savory sweet bbq) the tannins are manageable with more tangy red cherry fruit poking through...Ok 95+
94-95+, but hold onto these for some time...

Highly aromatic nose with mostly earthy, floral and woodsy tones and very limited fruit. Very tightly packed palate with coiled tannins and deep stuffing makes me conclude this needs 5-10 years to be enjoyed but will be a real shiner with proper time (shut down?). Finish is extraordinarily long and extraordinarily tight.
92 today on the nose alone which does not account for 2-4 points of upside with meaningfully more time in bottle.

decanted for a couple of hours. brownish brick red with orange rim. "old" and opulent nose of roses, star anise, licorice, cinnamon and leather. pronounced wood influence, whereas fruit pretty much absent. fruit barely noticeable on the palate as well, but things are still fresh and punchy. many "dark" secondary flavours of anise, leather, cognac and coffee. high chalky acidity and smooth-as-silk tannins offer a glimpse of what's to come.

Of course the 2013 Tre Tine's best days are ahead, but I was hoping to check in on a bottle before they all enter a shutdown phase, and boy was I lucky: This is aromatically gorgeous with a perfumed nose of wild cherry, rose, and liquorice. You get the vintage's cool climate and austerity, but the palate is more accessible than expected with balanced acidity and an appealing velvety mouthfeel. Decanted and drank over several hours and this stayed open and lively. Very good.

First wine of 2020 - a Giuseppe Rinaldi. Obviously too young, however it's a waste to have these languishing on a restaurant's winelist...
Red fruits, violets, touch of black pepper. Massive acid on opening, thankfully the palate filled out with air and the red fruits emerged on the midpalate. Boldly structured with blocky heroic tannins, driving acidity. Keep your hands off the bottles in your cellar for a decade minimum.

It had a wonderfully pure nose of wild cherry, balsamic, rose petal and menthol. It was rich and layered, with an intense core of fruit and so much savoury nuance. It was velvety but with underlying grip and balance and proportion were outstanding. Flavours linger for a very long time.

Another very nice showing but it'a slightly more closed and tense at the beginning, but opening up over the course of the meal. Love the freshness here with high acidity and a lifted, red fruited overall impression. Excellent length. This will still need a few more years for prime drinking but what a beautiful, juicy and complex preview.

Beautiful rose perfume. Dense and sappy, almost a viscous feel compared to the previous two wines (not to mean heavy, but in an extract sense). Rich, but with great acidity to keep it fresh, lifted, and balanced. There is nice clarity and focus here. It might be closing a little bit compared to last year, but still a fantastic bottle in time. 95+

If there is a barolo that you’d want to try young although you may have fears of infanticide....it would be this one. I really enjoy the nose of this wine...always mesmerizing to me consistently.
On this night the wine was decanted a day prior by the restaurant somm. Bouquet of florals roses, re fruit...a perfume that keeps sucking you in and wanting more. The palate was great....silky tannins, dark cherry, a hint of some earthy mushroom to it which I didn’t expect...finish was nice and long.
I caution that this really needs some time...but to have had it decanted prior to....it was amazing to try this young...it’ll be even better down the line I hope. Impressive and love these 13s. Brunate still my fave.

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.
Wide open right from decant, super aromatic and vibrant. Classic in every sense of the word. Clear cherries, roses, rosehip, new leather, fresh forest, menthol, violets and a lingering touch of pepper. Gorgeous and pretty much perfect for a Barolo at this stage, everything is there. Sandy tannins, marked but of exceptional quality. Bright acidity that will last a long time. Amazing how good this is already. Long aftertaste. The best young Barolo I've had, no question.

Tasted at the winery. This is showing a little bit different, but equally impressive as right after bottling when I tasted it last. Super perfumed, bright and expressive, with aromatics of sweet red berries, violets, also some pepper, uplifted and with beautiful freshness. It is medium-full bodied but feels lighter than that due to the vein of pretty high acidity and the medium-high tannin cutting through it. Super polished tannin. Excellent length. A bright, accessible and perfume Tre Tine full of tension.

Textbook Barolo; very young, of course, but approachable on the day with tannins that are firm, yet elegant and a deep core of fruit. There is an elegance here, that is truly rare - I wish I had some in my cellar. This will live on, of course ... #Vinbaren

Pop and poured at Fontanazza in La Morra. Omg....this was the epitome of balance...even for a very young Barolo it was singing....silky smooth tannins, a great amount of bright red fruit (not overkill, just right), and no harshness. Long long aftertaste. Definitely can be cellared for awhile but if you choose to drink one now do this one while Brunate is cellared for minimum 10 years . Fantastic!

We couldn't help but taste one immediately after buying. It was way too young but the wine showed incredibly well: It is a laser focussed, cool and pure Barolo, full of energy. Wonderful floral aromas paired with cherries, slightly earthy characters and a bit of menthol. The taste is again cool and pure. After several hours the wine got better and better. At the end your mouth was filled with red fruits which stayed there forever. Tannins were present but not too big. This will further develop and so will my score. Don't dring before 2023!

Roses and sweet Cannubi perfume. Some sweet tart behind the fruit and roses. Bright and fresh. Pure and prettier, if less imposing than the Brunate. Minerality and tension. Very long.

{ #ViniVeri 2017 } I think this was the most crowded table of the whole event, and why not, Marta was there, having a blast (she's infectious this way), so everyone else was, too. Oh, and this wine was there, which, by the way after one taste I wanted to kneel down and utter "I'm not worthy", to Carlotta, a truly gifted #naturalwinegrower, her dedication and cleverness have really paid off in this vintage. If I had a good cache of these, I would definitely open one, and celebrate, because. Brilliant. Now or in 25 years, either way you win. very highly recommended
Tasted during visit. Just bottled a few days ago... so take this with a grain of salt. Wow. Beautiful notes of sweet dark red cherries, crushed flowers, sweet spices, a touch of pepper too and nice minerality. It's full-bodied and dense, with high acidity and pretty high tannin that is perfectly ripe and silky. Excellent length. A beautifully balanced, seductive and expressive Tre Tine with plenty of freshness... this will be excellent! (95-97)

Uncorked full 24 hours ahead upon serving into Zalto Burgundy glass (“Root” day): pale bright ruby to the eyes.
Initial sniff (upon uncorked, not poured) yields highly darker red Burgundian notes of earth and floral infused darker red berry fruits.
Quite a bit darker toned than the Brunate tasted alongside.
94-95 points.
Second round: more medicinal and tarry than the ethereal Brunate.
Third round: this is up significantly from last round and more like 95 points.

Tasted at the winery. This is showing a little bit different, but equally impressive as right after bottling when I tasted it last. Super perfumed, bright and expressive, with aromatics of sweet red berries, violets, also some pepper, uplifted and with beautiful freshness. It is medium-full bodied but feels lighter than that due to the vein of pretty high acidity and the medium-high tannin cutting through it. Super polished tannin. Excellent length. A bright, accessible and perfume Tre Tine full of tension.

Textbook Barolo; very young, of course, but approachable on the day with tannins that are firm, yet elegant and a deep core of fruit. There is an elegance here, that is truly rare - I wish I had some in my cellar. This will live on, of course ... #Vinbaren

Pop and poured at Fontanazza in La Morra. Omg....this was the epitome of balance...even for a very young Barolo it was singing....silky smooth tannins, a great amount of bright red fruit (not overkill, just right), and no harshness. Long long aftertaste. Definitely can be cellared for awhile but if you choose to drink one now do this one while Brunate is cellared for minimum 10 years . Fantastic!

We couldn't help but taste one immediately after buying. It was way too young but the wine showed incredibly well: It is a laser focussed, cool and pure Barolo, full of energy. Wonderful floral aromas paired with cherries, slightly earthy characters and a bit of menthol. The taste is again cool and pure. After several hours the wine got better and better. At the end your mouth was filled with red fruits which stayed there forever. Tannins were present but not too big. This will further develop and so will my score. Don't dring before 2023!

With Carlotta
Roses and sweet Cannubi perfume. Some sweet tart behind the fruit and roses. Bright and fresh. Pure and prettier, if less imposing than the Brunate. Minerality and tension. Very long.

{ #ViniVeri 2017 } I think this was the most crowded table of the whole event, and why not, Marta was there, having a blast (she's infectious this way), so everyone else was, too. Oh, and this wine was there, which, by the way after one taste I wanted to kneel down and utter "I'm not worthy", to Carlotta, a truly gifted #naturalwinegrower, her dedication and cleverness have really paid off in this vintage. If I had a good cache of these, I would definitely open one, and celebrate, because. Brilliant. Now or in 25 years, either way you win. very highly recommended

Tasted during visit. Just bottled a few days ago... so take this with a grain of salt. Wow. Beautiful notes of sweet dark red cherries, crushed flowers, sweet spices, a touch of pepper too and nice minerality. It's full-bodied and dense, with high acidity and pretty high tannin that is perfectly ripe and silky. Excellent length. A beautifully balanced, seductive and expressive Tre Tine with plenty of freshness... this will be excellent! (95-97)
