  Excellent and can se its very complex but boy, this is an angry wine. Dark, brooding, maybe would have preferred it younger?

  Giuseppe Rinaldi in Tucson, or Tom comes to Tucson Night 1 (Ciabot Tucker): Double decanted in the AM and drunk over dinner.
  
  A beautiful and suppler nose than the Brunate le Coste. Wonderful perfume. Surprisingly this has a little more savory going on than the Brunate on the palate. What shines for me is its grace. It's beautifully proportioned and texturally brilliant. Lively intense yet with a beguiling sense of grace. Youthful but what a future! 96+

  (Magnum) The 2008 is more somber, austere, with a bigger core of muscle, tannin, structure and vigor next to the 2007. The bouquet opens up with impact and grace with aromas of blue/purple fruits and flowers. A truly spellbinding drinking experience today. No rush though.

  The 2008 Cannubi San Lorenzo - Ravera shines with immense fragrance, allure and a terrific, classically austere Rinaldi feel. Spiced berries, dried blue flowers, sage, potpourri, anise and cigar jump out of the glass up to the nose; swaths of Nebbiolo flavors that make it hard to stop swirling the glass. Beaming, forceful it comes across. On the palate I found dense, juicy and fierce textures, surrounded by partly silken elements. The tannins are firm & vital, also noble and stimulating the mouthfeel together with the continuous intense odor. Layers and levels build up with some time dedicated to this Barolo. The red cherry fruit is enhanced with deep floral tones; lavender, iris, sage, tobacco, blood orange and some tilled earth all rise. There is a lingering, waving sweetness here that fuses so well with upcoming more spicy aromas on the mid palate. A wine with clout but also high-leveled precision and vigor. Orange rind and more dried flowers show up on the long, buzzing finale. A truly wonderful, ultra classic and compelling Rinaldi Barolo with a huge potential for years to come. And - once again - the proof that Cannubi San Lorenzo - Ravera (and today Tre Tine) deserves all the same attention as Brunate (-Le Coste).
