A superb Langhe Nebbiolo in the Rinaldi style. Very enjoyable in a red-toned and structured way, where it has evolved positively since I last tried it in 2017 but peak is probably three years away.

Vin agréable, réussi pour un millésime difficile mais qui ne s'exprime pas pleinement après 2 heures de carafarge. On verra demain la deuxième moitié de bouteille.

Light medium red color, beautiful expressive nose, perfumed red fruits & rose with hints of mint, good concentration in the mouth, silky, elegant, really delicious! A mini Rinaldi Barolo, a perfect wine to wind down a long week on a Friday evening 92

Pale ruby, characteristic young Nebbiolo; aromatics are medium-high intensity with sappy red fruit, slight mint, slight rose and floral component, quite pure and clean; palate is light bodied, medium-high tannins but superbly elegant texture, balanced red fruit that is integrated beautifully; medium length finish. This is a beautiful young Nebbiolo which is a lovely representation of Rinaldi's style with great balance and elegance and lacking only the extra depth and complexity of the best Barolos. Doesn't seem like an off year at all. 91 With 2 hours of air, seems a bit rougher like it's starting to close down. Best immediately after opening. Drink now or after a 5-10 year nap.
