TN: OK Etna, disappointing Puligny, dependable Cerasuolo

Friday grilled swordfish, with assorted leftover vegetables.

2022 Tiberio Cerasuolo d'Abruzzo Bright cherries, green herbs, good mouthfeel. I know people who think these need age but I like young. B+/B

Saturday couple steamed lobsters, goat cheese/fig/ walnut ravioli (never again) , broccoli rabe, and salad.

2013 Chavy-Chouet Les Enseigneres Puligny-Montrachet I didn’t find any oxidation that others on CT found, but I did find this round and boring. Modest acids, yellow plum and tropical fruits, little lemon. OK if generic Bourgogne blanc. B-/C+

Sunday I had a full work day with a meeting, Betsy did a pork, spinach and honeynut squash stew, with a nice salad.

2015 Terrazze Dell'Etna Carusu Etna Rosso A touch of rubber on nose blows off, red berry and plums, little apparent oak, some road tar, comes across just a little hot (says 14.5%), Acceptable for $17. B-

Grade disclaimer: I'm a very easy grader, basically A is an excellent wine, B a good wine, C drinkable. Anything below C means I wouldn't drink at a party where it was only choice. Furthermore, I offer no promises of objectivity, accuracy, and certainly not of consistency.
