Robert Parker Wine Advocate:

This wine celebrated its 100-year anniversary in 2016. Representing its 99th birthday, the 2015 Barolo Tre Tine is a blend of fruit from Ravera (60%), Le Coste (20%) and Cannubi San Lorenzo (20%). These sites encountered some challenges with hail in the 2014 vintage that resulted in a 30% loss of fruit. The Rinaldi family saw hail in the Brunate and Cerequio area in 2016. But the 2015 vintage saw smooth sailing and what winemaker Marta Rinaldi calls "a return to normalcy." She says fermentations proceeded beautifully and without any holdups. This Barolo opens to a medium-dark garnet color with bright fruit tones followed by licorice, tar and delicate balsam herb. The wine offers a degree of softness that comes through in the quality of the tannins and the texture of the mouthfeel. Drink Date 95/100. Rating 95/100. –Monica Larner–

WineEnthusiast:

Full bodied and elegantly structured, this offers alluring aromas of woodland berry, wild herbs and camphor along with a whiff of forest floor. On the firm palate, taut, refined tannins offset juicy red cherry, pomegranate, star anise and a hint of tobacco. A hazelnut note lingers on the close. Rating 95/100. –WineEnthusiast.com, Kerin O’Keefe

Jancis Robinson:

Tasted blind. Mid ruby. Gorgeous, lifted, multi-layered nose of concentrated fruit and minerally, spicy hints. Generous and at the same time refreshing and succulent on the palate with perfectly built grainy tannic structure. Very long, supple and poised. Rating 18/20. –Walter Speller–
