1996 is drinking perfectly right now. These are the prettiest Barolos I've tried. In love with every bottle I've opened.

"Fresh as a daisy" Ken says. Yep!!! Just start to come out of its shell. Floral, getting juicy, and the finish loooong.

Still tight as a drum. Place Rinaldi just behind G Conterno and have always favored 96 but perhaps some will never really charm?

Extremely smooth tannins...complex palate of red berries, maybe tar?? Hints of dry roses...very good

Hands down one of the best Barolo I’ve ever had. We let it decent for 2 hours. I was expecting something brooding from the reviews but this night it was anything but. Light tannins with red fruit, beautiful floral notes with a long finish. Definite wine of the night.

Probably the densest, most powerful wine I've ever had. This absolutely required every minute of the 90+ it had in the decanter. Raisins and structure
