  Accomasso Tasting plus some great Barolo Pirates (Freiheit Vinothek, Ulm, Germany): *** all wines tasted blind ***
  Glass: Zwiesel 1872 Moment Pinot
  Clear, medium ruby color with orange rim. Clean, classic Barolo nose. Very floral, fine red fruit, spices, iron/blood. Youthful and fresh.
  Dry, amazing high acidity, high mellow tannin, not as hot as the Annunziata. Fine red fruit, floral, rose petals. Wonderful balance, elegance and grip. Wonderful length. Great potential. 93-94+

  Thanksgiving week in Piemonte; 11/22/2019-11/30/2019 (Milan, Barolo, Alba, Barbaresco): From the wine list at Osteria Veglia. The second Accomasso of the trip and another so so experience. The nose on this has quite a bit of barnyard funk and a hint of mustiness. On the palate there is a definite rusticity and earthiness - maybe some mushroom and soy. Okay but not at this price point - perhaps with more cellar age some magic happens here.

  Piedmont II - better and learnings; 11/23/2019-11/29/2019 (Barolo, Alba, others): This is a touch one. It's possible it was an off bottle. Certainly the nose was all funk and different and just that slight hint of cardboard. And yet the palate was all expressive and fruit and spice and seemed to be totally fine. I'm not great at borderline cork and some thought maybe borderline brett (which for me is often a benefit). I don't know. I know it wasn't as clear or crisp as some barolo can be. Drinks totally fine, but then not quite as good as the '08 Voerzio Cerequio so not sure if that is right.

  Bue à l'Osteria Veglio à La Morra, très belle couleur, assez claire mais brillante, rubis, nez ouvert, foin café, belle complexité, très frais, poivré, sous bois, épices, bouche ample, presque un peu légère, après aération, tannins magnifiques, ronds, très belle longueur, un tout grand Barolo, droit, déjà prêt à boire , certainement quand même un potentiel pour quelques années. La note de Galloni est un pur scandale. En résumé, tout est presque parfait. Juste peut-être un peu trop prêt à boire pour son âge mais est-ce vraiment un défaut. De fait, d’accord avec Christian, le seul vrai défaut était la taille de la bouteille !
