Francesco Rinaldi Barolo Le Brunate 2006

Blog

Still in its infancy, the 2006 Rinaldi Barolo Le Brunate is stunning and impeccable even at this stage, though it is advisable to decant should you be tempted to open it sooner rather than later. Soaring notes of juicy black plum and black cherry enclosed in freshly picked sweet tobacco and mint. Voluptuous on entry, with glycerol and body precisely offset by fine, mouth-coating tannins. I love the balance, it’s firm yet light, full without perceptible heaviness. Finishes with savory notes and fig paste.
