"The 2006 Barolo Brunate–Le Coste is another highlight in a night full of stunning wines. Still tannic and virile, the 2006 is also one of the most reticent Barolos of the evening. Its explosive energy and dark, balsamic profile are super-classic. Readers need to be patient, but the 2006 is everything I had always hoped it would be. Maybe even more." -Antonio Galloni

"An elegant, supple style, despite its firm structure. Exhibits rose, cherry, menthol and licorice flavors underscored by mineral. Taut and linear, with a long, sustained aftertaste."

"Giuseppe Rinaldi awes and amazes with the Cannubi-San Lorenzo-Ravera Barolo, but is slightly less successful with this wine from the Brunate and Le Coste crus. The wine is lively and fresh but is also less intense on the nose. The mouthfeel is dominated (at this early stage) by thick, bitter tannins that will no doubt soften with time."
