1974 Francesco Rinaldi Barolo

A beautiful bottle of mature Barolo. It had complex aromatics of tar, dried fig, earth and spruce. The palate was lively. There were some balsamic notes from the wines volatility and crisp red fruit flavours mixing it up with all of the savoury earthy things. The's still excellent grip to the finish and it has great drive and length.
