Piedmont II - better and learnings; 11/23/2019-11/29/2019 (Barolo, Alba, others): This is the more modern style. When I say more modern what I mean is straight up modern. For me this tasted like chewing on oak chips. I am sensitive though so I can't say it would be like that for all. Higher alcohol again. Just too much. I couldn't bring myself to get to a third sip (one sip for first impression, second to confirm, third was just not appealing).

11/23/2019 - retired_and_roving Does not like this wine:
Thanksgiving week in Piemonte; 11/22/2019-11/30/2019 (Milan, Barolo, Alba, Barbaresco): A small taste. I did not care for this one at all - lots of oak comes through on the nose and the palate and then there is a lot of polished fruit up front. Not my thing.
