Decent, lighter style taurasi, not quite the heft and body. Cheaper price point, but not the best Qpr.

Tempranillo Blend, Tempranillo more

Decanted, this seems like it’s a bit too early.
Needs more time to come together. Good at the moment but nothing special or exciting.
Needs to come around

2021 Roagna Dolcetto d'Alba

more

11/25/2023 - Ruubious wrote: NR

Decanted and drank over 2hr.
Overall a good wine, but didn’t really impress.
Seems a common theme with dolcetto, hoped this would be a touch better.
Have a few more and will let them sit a bit and decant longer

2017 Michele Chiarlo Barolo Tortoniano

Nebbiolo more

6/24/2023 - Ruubious wrote: NR

Drank a glass through coravin a few nights before.
Opened and decanted the remainder, light and easy for a barolo. Very approachable young, vibrant fruit, light tannin, enjoyable but not cheap for an easy access barolo

Decanted and drank over 3hr, needs a bit of time to open, certainly better during the last half and would have lasted a while.
Still young and has lots of time, it is drinking well and has good balance.
Better than the previous bottle last year
