  Piemonte: Truffles instead of Turkey; 11/23/2023-12/2/2023 (Barolo, Barbaresco, Alto Piemonte and of course Alba): Mostly Ravera vineyard although a bit of Le Coste and Cannubi as well. Ravera has often been a favorite of mine and it does seem with the climate change there is a different POV towards it than maybe in the past. I was originally told it was more of a premier cru than grand but maybe that is changing some. Licorice and tea leaves and hints of fruit. There’s strength here but then towards the end it softens a bit. Lots of tannin. A wine made for a very long life ahead.

  The ‘19 Tre Tine is an incredibly finessed young Barolo. While in past vintages I have found the Tre Tine to be classically tannic, making the Brunate the better wine to drink young, in the ‘19 the tannins seem to take a big step up in quality.
  
  The nose was nicely perfumed with sweet red cherry fruit, red florals, tobacco, licorice, and menthol. On the palate, the wine is medium to light in body, shockingly easy to drink with almost no tannins to speak of. The flavor profile is nicely concentrated though, with a mass of red cherry fruit and red florals along with tobacco and licorice. On the finish, herbal notes dominate, with mint and other cool herbs, anise, smoke, and red floral tones lingering.
  
  The knock on the ‘19 Tre Tine is it lacks much complexity, at least for now, but it is a super enjoyable wine.

  Very pure, sweet red cherries, some notes of violets, rose petals, also some balsamic notes, there is a purity that is so nice it is starting to close down a little though. Medium-full bodied, with high acidity and medium-high tannin that is super silky buy sneaking up. Long finish. Another beautiful Tre Tine. It's getting even more seductive with some air.... beautiful.

  Visit to Giuseppe Rinaldi; 4/13/2023-4/18/2023: Brief tasting at the winery. The ‘19 Tre Tine is a gorgeous young wine, more accessible than most ‘19s I’ve tasted and also more finessed than I recall prior vintages of Tre Tine, which I’ve found to show a more classic structure and tannin profile than the Brunate.
  
  On the nose, the ‘19 Tre Tine was classic Barolo with sweet red cherry fruit and fresh red roses, not (with a single glass) showing much complexity right now, but very attractive. On the palate, the Tre Tine was more finessed than I recall this wine in prior vintages, with plenty of tannin but very fine grained and integrated already. It was still more tannic than the Brunate alongside it, but far less than the Bussia. I found rich red fruit and fresh red roses, licorice, and peppermint like, sweet herbal tones. As always at rinaldi, the sweetness of the fruit really stood out.

  With Carlotta
  
  Rose and balsam. Perfumed and floral on the nose with cherry fruit, roses, Cannubi perfume and some mountain herbs. Midweighted and graceful with excellent balance and a cooling calm sense. Lovely, sense of clarity- minerality. Deep yet not heavy. Perfumed and long.
