In my experience at Giuseppe Rinaldi they do all of their wines well and this is no exception, and even though it was not built for aging in my opinion (it was never as good again as the first time), it has held up well and still offers pleasure. Less fruity now, but a lot of Piemonte in the glass. Cherry, mint, roses and a hint of tar. Lots of tannin actually, and good balance with the acidity and reasonable 13,5 ABV. A nice wine. There are better Dolcettos though with less iconic labels.

Very Rinaldi nose, lovely, such an amazing producer, however this bottle was slightly unbalanced on the palate, maybe a little sour, but the nose was simply so elegant and gentle, a lovely simple wine to enjoy over a plate of pasta!

Deuce KL dinner & blind tasting with friends, wine no 4, brought this bottle, bright cherry red, decanted for 1 hour, powerful ripe nose, still tannic, long finish, not as pretty as the 15 Rinaldi Ruche Rosae tasted last week, rustic, meaty

Fantastic Dolcetto. Still holding up in 2020. Fruit is slightly more muted, and just a touch of secondary notes beginning to show. Very enjoyable.

Red fruit and herbs, a bit of a medicinal quality for the better, good complexity for Dolchetto. Drink over the next few years.
