Cellar/Tasting Notes
"What a dreamy nose of crushed berries and dried flowers. Perfumes too. Then changes to Indian spices and dark fruits. Full bodied, with super well integrated tannins and a classy, long finish. So well integrated. Just a joy to taste. Better in 2013."

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"The 2009 Orma is gorgeous. Espresso, mocha, sweet red cherries, grilled herbs and plums wrap around the palate in this sensual wine from the Tuscan coast. The 2009 doesn’t quite have the exuberance or sexiness of 2007 or 2008, but it comes very close. Firm tannins frame a vibrant, energetic finish..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"Though rich, this is also beefy, with black cherry, broth and tobacco notes. The tannins are firm, but there's plenty of flesh and ripe fruit for balance. Fine length."

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"Zenato is a reliable producer of quality Amarone, producing wines that always show personality and intensity. This delivers bold fruit and background tones of polished leather and dry tobacco. The mouthful is very bold and thick, boasting a playful touch of sweet spice."

"Elio Altare is among the most important producers of the La Morra area of Barolo and this non-cru wine shows his talents. There are smoky notes of roasted hazelnut and chocolate that frame lively aromas of cassis and red currants. There’s great depth and delicacy here and the wine boasts polished..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"A floral and perfumed nose, with raspberries and blackberries. Full-bodied, with racy tannins and a dense yet refined palate. A little tight still. Give it a little more bottle age. Best after 2010. 1,665 cases made." –JS

Cellar/Tasting Notes
Shows dried raspberry and cinnamon on the nose. Full-bodied, with an impressive density of fruit and round tannins. Long and flavorful. Just starting to open up. Powerful and rich.

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"Raspberry, cherry, mineral and spice flavors highlight this elegant, vibrant red. The pure fruit is offset by a refined structure and equally fine, athletic tannins. A sense of energy drives the long, mineral-tinged finish. A wine of finesse and power."
