opened three bottles of this wine this week - all oxidized. Very disappointing. Sold by Gaagiste Seattle which seems to sell an above average amount of flawed wine.

Golden brassy color. Honeyed, butterscotch, apricot flavors combine with a glycerol texture for a very smooth food-friendly wine. Lacked acidity and verve. Matched with seasonal halibut at Sleeping Lady.

Dark black cherry color. Limited nose. Extracted cherry & pitfruit with super smooth tannins and pleasant mouthfeel. A little hot, but overall balanced with moderately long finish. Drinking with my honey in a snowy mountain cabin - nice for quaffing, limited food match.

2004 Giuseppe Rinaldi Barolo Cannubi San Lorenzo Ravera

Nebbiolo more

Italian Wine Merchants
While Bartolo Mascarello is often crowned the “Last of the Mohicans,” his spirit prevails through the work of his cousin Giuseppe Rinaldi. In fact, not only are Mascarello and Rinaldi connected by viticultural philosophy and an aversion to innovation (whether phones or rotofermentors), they also share some of the same historic vineyards. As the Romanée vineyards are to Burgundy, so are the Cannubi vineyards to Barolo. While Cannubi San Lorenzo-Ravera is regarded as Rinaldi’s feminine Barolo, in 2004 it seems to be seriously exploring its more masculine side by exhibiting, as it does, an atypical concentration and a formidable framework. Thus, while Cannubi’s contribution derives specifically from San Lorenzo, the portion of the cru noted for imparting aromatic distinction to a blend, in this vintage that perfume is particularly intense and abundant. Ravera signifies its contribution with a robust tannic constitution that matches the heightened aromatic profile. As with Brunate-Le Coste, the depth of the wine’s fruit is more apparent than Rinaldi would probably care to acknowledge. But it’s there, subtly intimated by what the wine reveals over the course of several hours’ aeration. With a minute production level of about 300 cases, it’s no wonder the collectors gather at the cellar door. Expect maturing of this wine to commence from 2012-2025

Purchased at Whole Foods and opened that day to match a wild mushroom risotto. Awesome balance and fruit. Opened young, so tannins were less evolved and finish was less complex. Would like to try again in five years.
