JG’s mainly Barolo 2018s (Terra Rossa, London N1): Smoke and lime on the nose, racy acids, real depth of flavour and concentration on the palate - whilst remaining v fresh with such energy and just 12.5%. Loved it. N.b. I was going to give this 93 but it closed down in the glass and went back into its shell.

Excellent. This hybrid's Riesling parentage is clearly expressed on the nose. Pretty nose, floral, nice citrus and mixed orchard fruits, a slightly funky acid. Don't drink too cold. Paired great with the early, mostly seafood, dishes at Bar Le Côte.
Nice QPR mid-$20s USD.

A private lunch (Ristorante Piazza Duomo ***, Alba, Italy): Cloudy lemon yellow. Yeast and lemon, hint of flower honey, clear and precise, bright acidity, engaging bitters, orange and green apple, very good resonance and length. A perfect bottle, without any flaws.

Very simple wine. Had very little character (too cold) when first opened. Nice add to a cream sauce.
