  During a MOT walkabout tasting, no detailed notes. Mid weight, but unusually dry and tannic for this producer.

  A matter of taste 2024 (Kongresshalle, Zürich): *** Brief notes from wine fair, primarily for my own memory ***
  Glass: Stölzle Universal
  Compared to the Casa Mate more feminin, but also a bit austere. Lean, precise, tannin a bit drying. Needs time. 91-92+

  Festa dal Barolo 2019 Masterclass (The Pool, Manhattan): Festa dal Barolo Masterclass
  
  Floral and spice driven with balsam and tar. Deep and broad on the palate, a bit polished and too clean if that makes sense. Lovely palate presence. Finishes with a cooler perfume on finish. Pretty but for me a bit polished and technical. Still outstanding. 92

  Vinous 2019 Barolo Masterclass (The Pool Restaurant, NYC): Black fruit, elegant. No sign of new oak. For my palate, this is the best wine I’ve ever tasted from Grasso.

  2019 Barolo Masterclass at La Festa del Barolo (The Pool, New York): Medium ruby. Backward nose. Medium+ weight. At first, simple, tart fruit, a dash of herbs, moderate acidity and soil, and dry, puckery tannins. However, this quickly unfolded in the glass, showing sweeter blueberry fruit, more texture and tar, and an uplifting squeeze of citrus zest. In fact, of all the wines, this probably exhibited the most rapid, positive transformation in the glass. Net net, I’m left thinking that this could be truly excellent
