Rinaldi and Trevallon

Drinking at a friend's home.

2019 Rinaldi Barolo Brunate - there was a hint of dust on the nose, but there was sweet fruit undereneath and overall it was pleasant. It opened up in the same glass after an hour and got a lot more fragrant.

2012 Trévallon Rouge - this was intense with a big nose, at first was a bit sharp. After 40 minutes in the decanter this was so fragrant, with a big toasty nose and notes of coffee, mint, and eucalyptus.
