Pietro Rinaldi, Barolo (Piedmont, Italy) 2008

Jul 25, 2012

By Michael Franz

 Stylish and yet very satisfying at once, this shows exceptionally interesting aromatics with notes of lavender, menthol, and autumn leaves, followed by deep flavors recalling red cherries and dark berries.  Rounded and generous, with restrained wood, this is already delicious but will improve for years to come.
