Classic Brunate herbal nose. A little V.A. when first popped. It needed a few hours open and the texture and balance came together.

Very primary, nice nose of lavender, not giving up much even after 2-3 hours in decanter. Hold.

This from only the Brunate vineyard. They made only 500 bottles of this wine in 2007. Moving forward with the 2012 vintage, all the Brunate moving forward will be bottled as single vineyard.

Powerful and elegant; ripe but focused. Just a beautiful bottle that epitomized the Rinaldi magic. Drinking well but years to go.

A pretty amazing way to break a 2 week wine fast. Violets and anise. Probably too young, but you only live once, right?
