99 points Kerin O'Keefe: "The classy 2021 Barolo Brunate from Giuseppe Rinaldi is drop-dead gorgeous, starting with its intense aromas of camphor, eucalyptus, rose and red berry. It’s utterly delicious and firmly structured, delivering layers of juicy Marasca cherry, crushed raspberry, wild herb and star anise framed in firm, fine-grained tannins. Bright acidity keeps it impeccably balanced and loaded with energy. Drink: 2031–2041. (Oct 2024)"

97 points Decanter: “The estate’s 1.2ha are on Brunate’s lower slopes within the commune of Barolo. Serious frost damage in 2021 resulted in 50% less production of this iconic bottling. Quality, nonetheless, is on point. Intense aromas of rose make a striking contrast with the earthy nuances of forest growth, toasted hazelnut and tar. The palate is well-endowed, with dark fruit wrapped up in clayey, clingy tannins. Waves of succulent acidity draw out the citrussy, blood orange finish. Drinking Window: 2028-2044. (Jan 2025)”

96 points James Suckling: "A complex and vibrant wine with aromas of blood orange zest, dried cherries, meat and restrained violets and sweet spices. Full-bodied with velvety tannins, refreshing acidity and intoxicating floral flavors. Chewy and tense in the finish. It will be released this spring. Try from 2027. (1/14/25)"
