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.

2010 vintage. Rinaldi Barolo. Wow. What a nose. Bitumen, tar, rose petal, violet and liquorice. Medicinal / spearmint notes in the background. Black fruit character and coffee bean (but could be the coffee machine going in the background at the restaurant!). On the palate, full on concentration, silky fine tannins that are nonetheless prominent. Sweet fruit, very complex flavours that are evolving in the mouth! Very long. Infanticide opening this wine at this age - but still a phenomenal experience. I love Rinaldi!!!
