  March 31, 2022 - Alto Piemonte (Terra Rossa): Rather well-behaved and MOR compared to some of tonight's wines. Smooth and savoury, with a flavour of chestnuts (is that a first in a wine?), then rather tannic and spicy towards the finish. Not sure the riserva treatment has benefited the wine... but it's still pretty good.

  March 23, 2019 - Coravin. Light ruby, just slight bricking towards the rim common in even youthful Nebbiolo; high intensity aromatics, plenty of red cherry fruit, slight tar, slight spice (cinnamon?); palate is light bodied, high youthful tannin, alcohol is well balanced (14% on label), youthful red fruit; finish is medium-plus length. Not quite as exceptional as my experience with the 2009 (though that had more age when I tasted it), but still a well made Nebbiolo with exceptional balance and good depth, very youthful but not purely fruit, traditionally made. Worth a few at the price, but it does keep getting more expensive each year and is getting close to its value (~$60). It probably needs at least 3+ years before opening another bottle. 92+
  2 hours decanted: This hasn't opened up at all, if anything has closed down. This may require a bit of time in bottle before it shows its potential.
