2020 La Colombera Timorasso Colli Tortonesi Derthona
1/16/2024 - mmoretal Likes this wine:
Very good with truffle mushroom ravioli. Glorious nose of floral candied orange peel. Serious length and depth. Don’t let this get too warm; the ABV ans natural bitter edge can be a killer.

2020 Mario Lucchetti Lacrima di Morro d'Alba
10/27/2023 - mmoretal Likes this wine:
The only thing I'd heard about this grape was that it's highly aromatic, which was certainly true of this bottle. I was less sure if that meant floral and light and elegant like a Ruché, which somehow doesn't seem right for a wine called Lacrima. I needn't have worried: this is dark, inky, brooding, and unique.

2015 Domaine Courbis Cornas La Sabarotte
10/22/2023 - mmoretal Likes this wine: 93 Points
As I found for the 2010 vintage, the Sabarotte is once again my favorite of the 3 Courbis Cornas lieux-dits. It's a harmonious Cornas, with clear "treble" (aromatics, acidity, minerality) and "bass" (weight, mouthfeel, tannins) in equal balance, especially after a few hours in the decanter. The complexity and intrigue is all there, on the nose and on the palate: a beguiling mixture of dark berries, herbs, and leather. There is a sense of power and aliveness to this wine that is a welcome, fortifying boost to the constitution in challenging times. I would not recommend pairing it with apricot danish, hazelnut milk chocolate, mini stroopwafels, Breton cookies, or the forgotten chocolate chip muffin I found, though.
