  Thanksgiving week in Piemonte; 11/22/2019-11/30/2019 (Milan, Barolo, Alba, Barbaresco): Picked this up from a wine bar in Alba to drink back at the room. Really enjoyed, a bit toothsome with some bite and tannin, nice texture, good length on the finish. Last glass of an epic trip!

  Slightly reductive nose of crystallized lemon, peachy fruit, herbaceous notes and a hint of something bready.
  Dry and zesty on the full bodied palate with fruit ranging from ripe lemon to slightly underripe peach. Some salt licorice and spice accents and a touch of something floral. Grapefruit zest towards the long finish.
  
  Timorasso - gotta lovit. Often in Piemonte the lesser known whites rule: Timorasso, Erbaluce and Nascetta. No wonder Langhe producers are getting their hands on this!

  This was a fine wine easy to drink but complex taste.

  Bu en succ.
  Fortement recommandé par Nathalie la conseillière de Granby, fut son coup de coeur à la grande dégustation de MTL.
  Bien aimé mais je m'attandais à plus pour presque 50$.
  Assez vif, sur les poires et les pommes avec des amandes.
  Assez long et un brin amère.

  Väldigt god, doft av päron, tutti frutti, äpple och lite mineral, kände inte någon rökig mineral som utlovades. Smak av päron, äpple och litchi, en liten sötma som gjorde den väldigt trevlig och lättdrucken men också något mer complext smak bakom allt. Lite dyr kanske 299kr men klass på det hela och extremt lätt och god att dricka.
