Tre Vigne Dolcetto d'Alba 2022

Some blackberry, Smokey notes, so soft in the mouth. Went very well with risotto and sausage. I have to think that’s the pairing in Piedmont for most people. The average Italian there ain’t drinking Barbaresco every night. — 8 months ago

Parigi Nebbiolo d'Alba 2022

Reddish in color with a purplish hue.

Elegant nose and full bodied with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with nice complexity and mouthfeel.

Showing raspberries, cherries, black plums, black currants, coffee, light oak and spices.

Medium finish with round tannins and tangy raspberries.

This is an elegant and very pleasant Nebbiolo from Piedmont.

Good right out of the bottle and better with airtime.

Still young and will continue to age nicely in the next 5 years.

Easy drinking and good by itself as a sipping wine.

100% Nebbiolo grapes were aged in used American and French oak barrels for 12 months.

14.5% alcohol by volume.

90 points.

$30.

La Dilettante Vouvray Sec Chenin Blanc 2016

This is beautiful. Apple, pear, honey, a creaminess, and just the perfect touch of sweetness. Awesome to taste the similarities and differences between vouvray and Jurassic Park chenin even if different sugar levels. — 7 years ago

This is very elegant & harmonious.
Dark sour cherry with some crushed stone and a pinch of orange peel & herbs. Fresh. Juicy.
On the palate this is very smooth, juicy, with great flow and beautiful balance. The 14.5% alc perfectly integrated.
Nice depth & length, too.

Can I collect all gang of four in 2018 Morgon threads? This one is perfumed and reminiscent of cherry licorice sticks, Asian plum, cola, and rose water. Very finesse driven and elegant. — 5 years ago
