Cherry coke, vanilla, espresso, mint. A charming Cali Pinot Noir. The best choice with porterhouse steak at tonight!

2016 Produttori del Barbaresco Barbaresco Riserva Pora Nebbiolo

15% abv. Wild rose, Strawberry, red cherry, thick herbal scent, forest, a few minerality were shown. Tannin was very soft and easy. Almost like to an elegant pinot noir without any sweetness, but having deeper expression. 2016 PdB riserva is great now and will be greater in time.

2016 E. Pira & Figli (Chiara Boschis) Barolo Via Nuova Nebbiolo

100% Nebbiolo, 14.5% ABV. Violet, cedarwood, various spices, strawberry. Classic Nebbiolo, but having modern style also. Already approachable. Sweat and mellow. I love it mostly.

Nutty, citrus, lemon and candied palate. Fresh and young, but enjoyable already. Decant 2 hours needed for now.
