Fruity, juicy, lemony and citrus driven. Great for spring and summer patio drinking — a year ago
Some pine. Floral. Lovely.
Palate is a bit tannic. Lovely cherry fruit. Juicy. As it opens a hint of balsamic. Not a good sign.
As it airs tanins become more pronounced. Which is odd. Still a fun drink.
This may be mildly corked. God hates us all. My guess in 5 years will be very good. Or not.

Excellent Dolcetto indicative of Piemonte. Spicy, black pepper, slight bitterness balanced with subtle red fruit. Paired surprisingly well with brown rice carrot dish. — 7 years ago
From even north of Lessona. Cherry, raspberry, blackberry and fresh plum. White pepper, red liquorice, Dried fennel, almond paste and orange rind. Fine, gentle emery board like tannins with perky acidity. Really approachable now. 65% neb, 20% croatina and 15% vespolina. — 9 years ago
Solid Nebbiolo — 8 years ago
Herbaceous near smoke-point olive oil and bamboo shoots with a thin lemon juice on wet, river rock silhouette. The palate is full, siphoning into a barely perceptible tingle, adding buoyancy. Clean and delicious with shrimp in a homemade tomato cream sauce. A wiggle of the hips, a simple linen sashay, in a sunny field of white wildflower and clover. This Cortese really does it all. Curious to see it dance on the half shell. #cortese #piedmonte #italianwine — 11 years ago
