2007 Terredora di Paolo Aglianico Campania IGT

From pop and pour:
Faintly scented wet brick, rhubarb, smoked saline, toast, caramel, diesel and game-funk. Faded on the palate exposing sharp non-distinct red fruit, leather, cigar box and a cotton mouth drying finish which was quite astringent.
After two hours:
Vastly improved mouth feel; soft plums, juicy crushed fruit and stones arose. Smooth, easy to drink with bit of heat noted which was ultra subtle. Great with a hearty pasta dish.

2009 Cesari Ripasso della Valpolicella Superiore Bosan
5/3/2014 - VinLancaster Likes this wine:
This opulent Ripasso begins with an array of aromatics including sweet-wet tobacco, smouldering cherries and mulberries gorged in Pastis coated in cow hide. Parades a richness on the tongue with raisins and prunes steeped in clove infused rum, chewy fruit skins and finishes with an oily impression that drifts on the palate for an elongated span of time.

2009 Maison Arnoux & Fils Vacqueyras Jean-Marie Arnoux
4/19/2014 - VinLancaster Likes this wine:
70% Grenache, 25% Syrah, 5% Mourvedre
Ready to drink now, this fiery spiced Grenache blend is brimming with tarragon scented dried fruit, musk dusted leather and charcoaled asphalt. Medium in weight, it provides the back palate with gushing herbs, rich soil with a brightly diffuse delicate finish. Delivers excellent value.
