Nice with a few years of age. The 14.5% does come through a bit more than I was hoping, though perhaps that also gives it the depth of body that I enjoy. Flowers, minerals, some bitterness, good acid. — 5 months ago

Nose is spice and green pepper. Pepper goes away with air. Replaced by black pepper.

Palate is huge hit of spice. Incredibly fresh hand crushed wild blackberries. Super delicious. Amazing silky texture. Spice integrates with air. Amazing entry level wine. More perfect mid season cherry with air. Cherry pit as well.

Long cherry finish. — 4 years ago

L'odore è come un tramonto nella gola delle montagne, e il sapore è come la carezza del vento marino costiero. L'ho provato solo un po 'finora. Cosa succederà quando berrò un paio di bicchieri di questo meraviglioso vino? Sono entusiasta, anche se sospetto che sia tutto perché sono di ottimo umore. ❤️ — 4 years ago

Sometime you’ve got to standup to bow down. Stellar bottle, eclipsed only by the ‘89. Incredible refinement, balance, and length. Another standout from the beppe dinner — 8 years ago

Just awesome. Big and tannic but so elegant. More formal notes later. A beast. Needed a day and now it’s so juicy and full of red and black fruits. A beast but a sexy one. — 6 months ago

1967; 3H Decant.

Nose has dried roses, tar, dried orange peel, dried Bing cherries, wet leather, moist leaves and shaved dark chocolate.

Palate has dehydrated tart cherry, dried orange zest, moist garden soil, sweet cherry notes, medium tannins and light acidity remains.

Evolving and expanding with each sip, complex flavors continue to reveal, not slowing down at all.

A truly exceptional bottle of wine. Made by Beppe Coppa, one of the greatest Lange winemakers. A powerful vintage according to my trusted source on old Italian wine. — 4 years ago

With the news of Beppe Rinaldi’s grave condition making the rounds, Il Professore and I wanted to share a bottle of Rinaldi Barolo. The 1971 was made by Beppe’s father, Battista, and was a real treat to drink. (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, December 2018) — 7 years ago

Nose has a bit of poop. Mostly blows off with air.

Palate is grippy blackberry fruit. Quite young.

Let’s see where this goes

As it opens sort of an Aglianico version of good dolcetto. Sweet fruit. Great spice. Not super complex. — 4 years ago

Very fruity and sweet, but not headache-inducing. It’s the perfect level of sweetness for me! :) — 7 years ago

Dark rubi color, beautiful nose of crushed flowers and lavender, very tannic but somewhat accessible mouth with great length and balance. A fantastic Barolo that is very drinkable now but with outstanding potential to hold. Beppe Rinaldi and daughters did wonderfully in 2013 and this is a must have bottle !! — 8 years ago
