2009 Castellare di Castellina Poggio ai Merli Toscana IGT

Have been sitting on this for 7 years. Consumed over multiple evenings. Nose shows dusty road, cedar box, and dried herbs. On the palate blackberry, black cherries, tar, and coffee. Tannins are firm but do not detract. Best with served with a hearty meal that can help with the tannins.

2011 Big Table Farm Pinot Noir Willamette Valley

PnP, consumed over multiple hours. Cork was in fantastic shape for a recent secondary market purchase. Out the gate this was singing. A little darker red fruits and just a sense of cola over loam. By hour 2 the cola had blown off and it was more juicy red fruits (raspberry, pomegranate, boysenberry) and lots of pine needles and sap. Definitely acid driven towards the end of the bottle (not sharp or harsh) but almost leaned California Central Coast in its profile. Still very pretty and drinking very well past the 2019 drinking window.
If you have some (I still have one), ENJOY.

Wow, wow, wow; really enjoyed this.
Blackberry, cassis, tobacco, graphite, leather, and mushroom is just starting to emerge. Tannins are integrated but still noticeable and linger leaving a smile on my face. This is LOVELY and I'm actively looking for more.
