Giuseppe Rinaldi Barolo 'Brunate-LeCoste' 2006 3.0L

A far more powerful, sinewy wine than the 2004, the 2006 Barolo Brunate - Le Coste is pure muscle. The bright red color and intense tannins show the 2006 is still an infant. It's impossible not to admire the purity of the flavors and the wine's overall precision. Although the 2006 has a very bright future, it won't be anywhere close to its best for another decade or so. Readers who own the 2006 should be positively thrilled. I know I am.
