  Excellent balance, already showing some complexity.

  Premier Barolo de Rinaldi pour moi. Robe qui paraît assez évoluée. Nez classique de Barolo sur les fruits noirs le côté terrien avec une touche de volatile. Bouche avec presque pas de tannins, un toucher de bouche très soyeux et une énorme puissance aromatique entre les fruits noirs et rouges. La structure tannique du vin est déjà celle d’un vin arrive à maturité mais l’aromatique va gagner en complexité. Se boit très bien sur la jeunesse

  Cooler fruited for this bottling. Floral with tar, violets more than rose, and some Giacosa like hard candy notes. Midweigthed and beautifully balanced. this is a less powerful, but really well balanced bottle of Brunate. Cooler fruit with more Ricola than classic balsam medicinal notes. Thi swine has s sense of poise and lift. It reminds me a little bit texturally of the lift of some of the best '14s. Finishes long. Not a pwoerhouse, but really well done with a sense fo mystery and freshness.

  La Festa del Barolo 2023 (The Pool, NYC): The 2018 Barolo Brunate is hauntingly dark and floral, with spicy red and black fruits complemented by a hint of dried blood orange. This is silky-smooth and energetic, with vivid black cherry and exotic spice motivated by stimulating acidity. It finishes with incredible length, leaving a coating of fine-grained tannins, along with violet and rose tones that slowly fade. The 2018 Brunate is a beautiful expression of the vintage, which should drink well relatively young. Frankly, it’s hard to put the glass down.
