"The 2001 Barolo Brunate is in a good place today, as the bouquet is expressive and the tannins have begun to melt away. A brooding, somewhat rustic, and austere Barolo, the 2001 delivers plenty of Rinaldi character but with a bit more fruit and less severe tannins than vintages like 1999 and 1996. This is a gorgeous bottle." -Antonio Galloni

"Barolo. Medium ruby with brickstone rim. Traditional but with succulence and lightness and with a gentle structure." -Walter Speller
