Sipping Fine Wine

9.3

Ruby color with a bouquet of dark fruit, spices, leather, oak and floral notes, blended from 3 vineyards, long skin maceration. On the palate flavors of black cherry, currants and raspberry with notes of pepper, floral and mint. Long finish, nice balance with fine soft sweet chewy tannins ending with fruit and earthy notes. Just starting to drink now! Will continue to age. — 20 days ago

One of my absolute favorite Stella vintages. So giving right off the bat, never shows any heat even in warm vintages, just so fresh and clean with bright pure and voluminous fruit, spices and licorice with balanced acids and a cool minerality. Always such an amazing expression of Sangiovese and without question my favorite. — 12 days ago

Cherry and dark fleshy fruit is popping here. Sumptuous wine. Lots of heft depth and length. I drank this a bit young and it will clearly be better in the future but it’s still definitely fantastic now. — a month ago

Big wine but elegant; velvet smooth, roses and cherries and cinnamon, flamboyant and composed at the same time — 2 months ago

Outrageous. Slowly opened up at Chi Spacca with Madi. At first the palate was phenomenal. As you’d expect for perfectly stored rinaldi. Then came the aromatics an hour in. Holy WOW. Truly a singular expression of Nebbiolo. So lucky to have this. — 2 months ago

Its actually 1967...Very tertiary aromas and taste, more like tea leaves and infusion. Not really our style of Barolo but was a nice experience to try. Was probably great when still on the fruit.
