Mascarello, Giuseppe 2007 Barolo Monprivato
1) this is the lowest price we can find listed for this wine; 2) per the request of our friend who gave us the wine to sell, 100% of the sale price will be donated to the ACLU.
At 16 years of age, 1996 is widely held to be an excellent vintage in Barolo / Barbaresco, producing ‘classic’ wines – in other words, wine for the cellar. But 16 years is enough to put this bottle in the beginning of its mature life, and given some time in a decanter it drinks very well. And it’s classic in the sense of very traditional – no gobs of fruit or vanilla and oak here. In some ways a perfect gift, because the lucky recipient can put it away for years, or can enjoy it now.

Rinaldi, Francesco 1974 Barolo
This bottle is drinking so well right now. If you can spare the money, please do your self a favor and grab one while you can. Poised on the brink of maturity, the wine offers savory, tertiary aromas of earth, roasting meat, and mushroom along with delicate, mouth-filling dried cherry flavors. Really, this is the kind of beautiful, masterfully wrought wine that defies description and lingers in one's memory for years. Make sure to give the wine ample time to decant; it will take several hours of air for it to show all it has to offer. -msb
Rinaldi, Francesco 1996 Barolo La Brunata
As traditional as they come. Lots of dark flowers, dense ripe fruit and big tannins. Needs lots of time to resolve but it is no rush. Cellar for decades and revisit. It will be worth the wait.
Rinaldi, Giuseppe 2013 Barolo Tre Tine
Allowing for the fact that wine is a very subjective experience, I like to think that I call it as I see it. So I believe I’d know if it was a disaster, but otherwise I’m irrational and unreliable on the subject of G. Rinaldi. When I’m there, I wander around in a kind of stupor of infatuation with the wines. My penetrating notes (for 2013 Tre Tine, for example) say things like “super-great” [full stop]. I suppose if I have to have a wine crush, it might as well be on one of the best wineries in the world. Jamie WolffPS: Please don’t shoot the messenger. We don’t make the prices (neither, so far as I can tell, do the Rinaldis, because the wines leave the cellar at very reasonable prices). We’re well into the world of luxury goods here, and all I can do is sigh and make puppy dog eyes at the bottles while they’re in the shop. I do think it’s an objective fact that these are great wines and even if it’s a gratuitous comparison, they are the superior of many far more expensive wines.
