  Coravin fun - Piedmont (My place, Kent Street): Oak, oak, oak, beautifully polished oak, caramel sweet spice, vanilla, perhaps some plummy fruit beneath this. Medium plus intensity acidity, plummy fruit then a positive Tsunami of okay drying tannins wash in stripping enamel and offering sweet spice, vanilla and slight caramel. Good grief.

  I took this bottle to Roy Yamaguchi’s restaurant in Kauai (Eating House 1849). Paired it with mustard glazed short ribs. Purple with some browning on the rim. This was very old world in style. Burnt red fruit with leather and plum notes. Some bitterness on the finish.88 points.

  3/1/2021 - oropeza Likes this wine:

  Red fruit and floral nose, primarily red fruit in the mouth, structured middle with primarily tar hits you pretty quick and sticks, finishes long on thick tannin and good acidity. Younger Nebbiolo-based wines tend to win for me when they hit high volume all along the spectrum and this doesn't disappoint. There's something missing here but I can't pin it down... maybe an elegance? Ah, that'll probably come with age. For now this is a solid winner, doing it again I'd probably pop it two days before drinking.

  IWS Piedmont tasting (My place, Kent Street): From Coravin. Caramel oak, sweet spice dominates plum, cherry, slight alcohol warmth, quite a 'modern' nose. Juicy acidity, oak, plummy fruit, non-intrusive alcohol warmth, medium plus intensity tannins are grainy textured and slightly drying, the whole persists long. Hmm.
