March 10, 2024 - Textbook Barolo, and one of the best Francesco Rinaldi’s I’ve had. Kept getting better over the the course of 2 days. Really lovely wine. Many years left.

February 3, 2024 - Super smooth and delicious Barolo that can’t be beat for the price. Just starting its kind drinking window. We decanted for 30 min and a little more would have been nice. Give it time.

July 8, 2023 - The faded ruby color suggests some maturity but the wine remains structured and fairy tightly wound. Cleanly made with a fine texture and tasty flavors of dark cherry-wood, forest floor and classic tar and rose notes. The finish is tight with good intensity and grip. Perfectly sourced and stored but this bottle is disappointing. Will try another as I really liked this wine in its youth.

July 1, 2023 - Forsmak solid og mørk. Tobakk og kjemikalier, roser på nesen. Solid maskulin smak. Vokser etter noen timer i åpen flaske. Appelsinskall, kirsebær, kompleks, flott

June 24, 2023 - Double decanted 8 hours before dinner. Light, clear ruby center with fading and early browning at the rim. Gorgeous aromas of tar, spice, and red fruit-hard to get your nose out of the glass. Medium to light weight. Poised, subtle, perfectly balanced red cherry, soil, acidity, and the slightest bit of herb. Flowing, gentle finish with only light tannins remaining. Fabulous wine, just about fully expressed. I enjoyed every sip of this and each time could not wait to go back to sniff and taste it.
