Francesco Rinaldi Barolo 2020

Aromas of blue flower, exotic brown spice and cedar lead the nose on the lovely Barolo from Francesco Rinaldi & Figli. Elegant and full-bodied, the savory palate is polished and already almost accessible, featuring juicy Morello cherry, raspberry and licorice framed in fine-grained tannins. Drink 2026-2032. KERIN O'KEEFE

Rinaldi’s 2020 Barolo is a fine choice for drinking now and over the next handful of years. Deep and quite potent, the 2020 offers tons of depth, complemented by hints of tobacco, worn-in leather, dried cherry and crushed autumn leaves that argue for near- and medium-term drinking. This will make for a terrific restaurant Barolo. ANTONIO GALLONI, Vinous
