Giuseppe Rinaldi, Barolo Tre Tine

Giuseppe Rinaldi, Barolo Tre TineThe pretty 2011 Barolo Tre Tine shows elegance, fullness and cheerful generosity of fruit. The wine represents a blend of Nebbiolo harvested from the Cannubi S. Lorenzo, Ravera and Le Coste vineyards. Cherry and blackberry aromas rise to the front with lingering tones of smoke, crushed granite and licorice at the back. Barolo Tre Tine shows silky but firm tannins and balanced acidity. This classic style will last long in your cellar.

Gains weight and structure with air and finishes with outstanding power and focus

licorice and a kiss of barrique

(100% from the Chambolle side that combines about one-third terres rouges and the remainder from terres blanches)

(92-95)/2034+

Over the last few years

indeed the word Zen describes the gorgeously well-balanced finish

Strong reduction knocks down the nose

The 2015 Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee Chaupin is all Grenache

Showing some of the more mature notes found in the 2006

Broad and rich but also magically airy in the mouth

opulently textured

serious and youthfully austere finale
