This is definitely a lighter vintage for this iconic wine. It was quite tannic at first but opened nicely after an hour in a decanter. There is lovely crunchy dark cherry fruit and while it's a bit unformed at this early stage, it also faded some in the glass after two hours. Very elegant and refined Barolo but I don't think it will make old bones.

Classic Barolo notes of cherry and tar and menthol. Bright and layered with elegant tannins — there's the contours of that Rinaldi austerity but the vintage richness shines through. Great stuff.

Another stunning experience. This definitely needs two days to round out.

The 2015 Rinaldi shows ripe red fruit but also an austere, classic medicinal backbone. Very good.

A Barolo I love, that doesn't happen too often. Lots of fruit, some tar. good freshness, medium + intensity and elegant tannins. Lovely!
