The Rinaldi 'normale' Barolo is a sappy, snappy and potentially more brooding example than you'd expect from such an inexpensive Barolo. The tannins are round but certainly present and there is plenty of depth. This will sing on the table even now with some heartier foods but it should continue to improve gracefully over the next 10+ years.andnbsp;

Mid ruby in colour. Dried flowers, dusty balsamic notes with slightly bloody gamey aromas. On the lean to middle weight palate the lack of ripe fruit exposes a trace of bitterness at the finish. Expected more from the producer and the vintage.

A mid cherry red in colour. Aromatics of red fruits, menthol and touches of tar and roses. Light to medium bodied on the palate - surprising for a Barolo with medium plus intensity. Different and interesting in a good vintage from an excellent producer. Next in a year.
