Laureto Lacrima di Morro d' Alba 2022

Not sure I’ve selected the appropriate wine. Anyway, this one is super fruity but still dark. Black cherry and blackberries and maybe a little black currant—though black currant may be too strong a flavor here. — 2 years ago

Dolcetto d'Alba 2018

See previous Delectable Notes from June 2020. Very dark Ruby in colour. Ripe cherry and liquorice on nose and palate - cherry skins. A medium weight palate finishing with fine powdery tannins. Dolcetto is essentially a simple wine (went well with Quiche) but when made by a producer of the reputation of G D Vajra its a particularly good representation of the grape. See previous note from October 2021, 48 weeks ago. Not sure I’ve ever got my head around the characteristics of Dolcetto - like a detuned Nebbiolo. Notes as previous with fine chalky tannins. — 5 years ago

Domenico Clerico

Barolo Nebbiolo 2018

This weekend we opened the 2018 Domenico Clerico Azienda Agricola Di Viberti Giuliana-Monforte D' Alba Barolo.

On the nose there is cherry, raspberry, cranberry, licorice, roses, clay pots and dusty soil.

On the palate there is cherry, raspberry, cranberry, anise, rose hip, leather and dried herbs.

This wine is medium to full bodied medium+ to high acidity and medium+ firm tannins that move into a long red and black fruit leathery finish. Enjoy the weekend and please stay safe and healthy. Nostrovia! 🍷🍷🍷🍷
