  London Chapter Dinner of the Cavalieri del Tartufo & dei Vini d’Alba (The Oxford & Cambridge Club, London): A few years since we had this ( Papies 91 in 2019) and continues to be that more modern expression of the single vineyards. 2013 the vintage of promise but of no delivery ( for us) so the modernity in control of the style of Grasso here helps polish the wine and give it an approachable in its youth feel. We would suggest one decants this even risking the anathema of of the Piemontesi as this needs at this stage a bit of help to get going. 91-92

  Violets, cherries, medium body, long finish. Probably close to its drinking window with many years ahead. Complex, powerful, medium body, already balanced, very good!

  Felt tight. This wine probably need 10 more years. But has the right ingredients.

  Decanted 2 hrs. A strong showing on this one. Initially this comes across a tad clenched, but soon a playful sweetness on the peripheral of the mouth that makes this quite engaging and worth pulling the cork. Aromatically, its very much on point with the full regalia of roses, soy, and some cooling mint perhaps and loads of sensual perfume. Great staying power on the finish. Very bright days ahead, no question.

  Tegelröd. Bra balans mellan tanniner och syra, och börjar utveckla mognad. Men tunnlar den? I jämförelse med förra flaskan och den 2016 jag testade nyligen upplevs denna en aning stum och sluten. Ett mycket bra vin, men som kan bättre.
