Giuseppe Rinaldi
Barolo Nebbiolo
A little faded and dry at the edges. Some tea and intense but lifted fruit. Good but could have been great a while ago

Nov 27th, 2020Exceptional bottle. So fresh and vibrant. Dark fruit hints of balsamic and soy with dark floral edge with rich hen of the woods mushroom edge. Very attractive over 2.5 hours.

Nov 5th, 2019With the news of Beppe Rinaldi’s grave condition making the rounds, Il Professore and I wanted to share a bottle of Rinaldi Barolo. The 1971 was made by Beppe’s father, Battista, and was a real treat to drink. (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, December 2018)

Nov 24th, 2017Horizontal tasting with 14 Barolos from '67. This was by far the biggest of them with the healthiest acidity but almost going thru a closed period. This can even age some more. There was a beautiful nose that appeared after dinner with violets and roses and dark dark cherries.
