Dinner at Forma

Introduction
Got to try Forma and glad to say it didn't disappoint. We had all seven pastas among four people and it was perfect in terms of portion size. Standouts for me were the two heavier pastas that were served last (the Pappardelle and the Orecchiette), followed by the first pair of the Linguine al Limone (very interesting) and the tortellini which is apparently the crowd favourite. Corkage was one-for-one, too bad the Burlotto Monvigliero was sold out so we had the Rinaldi instead.
2009 Alfred Merkelbach Ürziger Würzgarten Riesling Kabinett 92 Points
Germany, Mosel Saar Ruwer
First time trying this producer and this was terrific. Petroleum on the nose, fruit profile was very attractive with clean and precise citrus fruit especially on the entry. Ripe but not overly heavy for a Kabinett, restrained with good acidity for a warm vintage, long finish. Great value.

2016 Francesco Rinaldi e Figli Barolo 89 Points
Italy, Piedmont, Langhe, Barolo
Better on pop and pour, fruit was more evident before the wall of tannins took over. Slightly funky and rustic with blood and some gamey notes. Traditional Barolo that needs a lot more time.
