Poderi Colla Nebbiolo D'alba 2009, Doc

classic nebbiolo, dusty cherry fruit, tight tannins, earthy, fragrant on the nose, pale garnet colour, really needs food to balance sourness but if u love Barolo then u will smile with this, midweight Barolo taste, give it another year

Boutari Naoussa 2008, Pdo Naoussa

dry, dusty, red fruit, drying tannins, kind of like a nebbiolo, great for the price!

Maycas Del Limarí Reserva Especial Syrah 2009, Limarí Valley

Abad Dom Bueno Crianza 2006, Do Bierzo

cherry fruit, a bit too much oak, quite complex, no hint of tannins, overall: nice and a great bargain at $15

Descendientes De J. Palacios Pétalos 2011, Do Bierzo

90

Carignanissime De Centeilles 2010, Ac Minervois

I find that minervios to have a very bitter harsh finish generally, not for me, different that Szabo or D'Amato so maybe it is just my personal taste!

Innocent Bystander Pinot Noir 2012, Yarra Valley

classic pinot noir like, cherry-strawberry, tannins are light for sure as szabo says, a bit shallow but still subtle, so pinot!! overall nice!!

Macho Man Monastrell 2012

nice wine, terrible name and label
