97 points Luca Gardini: "One of the essential products of the Langhe. From vineyards in Cannubi,San Lorenzo and Ravera, nose of red currant, touches of blood orange and peony. The mouthfeel is juicy, with brackish tannins and a citrus and floral finish. (May 2022)"
96 points James Suckling: "Aromas of sliced fresh strawberries, dark earth, bark and dried lavender. Some iron. Medium- to full-bodied with lots of fruit for Rinaldi and always an underlying sureness and precision. Chewy at the end from the pointed tannins, suggesting another three or four years will make it even better. Drink after 2027. (5/9/24)"
95 points Audrey Frick (Jeb Dunnuck): "The 2018 Barolo Tre Tine is elegant and long, with pure cherry fruit, star anise, and pine, and is refined with fine tannins and snappy acidity within a medium frame. Notes of wild berries, cedar, and spice open to reveal more complex layers within this very attractive and classically styled wine. Drink 2024-2044. (May 2023)."
94 points Antonio Galloni (Vinous): "The 2018 Barolo Tre Tine is a super-classic wine. It reminds me so much of a wine Beppe Rinaldi might have made. Readers will find an austere, taut Barolo built on energy and tension more than primary fruit. It's the sort of Barolo that blossoms only with time in bottle. Spice, cedar, sweet pipe tobacco, dried cherry, macerated red cherry and anise start to open with a bit of coaxing. This is an intriguing wine, to say the least. Drink: 2028-2043. (Feb 2022)"
