Roero Arneis 2019

I love this Arneis. At $18 a bottle, I should get a case. Aromatic, unctuous, nice πŸ‘ fruit. β€” a year ago

Paulin Dolcetto d'Alba 2013

Nose: grape - almost artificial, like a popsicle. Dirt, dried leaves. β€œFumey.” White pepper. Plum skin (tannic smell). Alcohol smell.
Palette: tannic, dries out gums (right away). Round/full. Smokey. Juicy - grape, plum, berry. Jammy.

Serre Barolo Nebbiolo 2010

Pop and pour. Vinous note suggested early drinking, CT tasting notes suggest waiting. Split the difference? I was expecting a fruit-forward modern-styled barolo, and while this definitely leans modern, it is not over-the-top. In fact, quite charming at this stage. On the nose: classic blood orange, soft florals, but modern sandalwood inflections, with some dried strawberry secondary notes. On the palate: excellent acidity, bitter herbs, dried raspberry, dried sage, and soft plum. Serious tannin kicks in, but the finish is juicy enough that most food pairings will soften the tannic blow. Tipping the scales at a burly 14.5% ABV, but this is surprisingly nimble. I really enjoyed this... β€” 3 years ago
