Giuseppe Rinaldi - Barolo Tre Tine 2018 (Pre-arrival) (1.5L)
This item is available for pre-arrival.
James Suckling: 96 Points
Aromas of sliced fresh strawberries, dark earth, bark and dried lavender. Some iron. Medium- to full-bodied with lots of fruit for Rinaldi and always an underlying sureness and precision. Chewy at the end from the pointed tannins, suggesting another three or four years will make it even better.
Wine Spectator: 95 Points
Light in weight, this supple red expresses strawberry, cherry, rose, mineral and eucalyptus aromas and flavors. Linear in profile and firmly structured, with fine balance and a lingering aftertaste of hibiscus and juniper.
Vinous: 94 Points
The 2018 Barolo Tre Tine is a super-classic wine. It reminds me so much of a wine Beppe Rinaldi might have made. Readers will find an austere, taut Barolo built on energy and tension more than primary fruit. It's the sort of Barolo that blossoms only with time in bottle. Spice, cedar, sweet pipe tobacco, dried cherry, macerated red cherry and anise start to open with a bit of coaxing. This is an intriguing wine, to say the least.
