Ferrari Iris & Figli 2011, Doc Bolgheri
Tuscany, Italy$14.75
March 2015 - this seems to be coming together nicely but has some room for improvement yet I think. Bought a second and third bottle ($14.25) to keep for 2016. Might be a 90 by then. Pasta with meatballs.

Viña Casablanca Nimbus Single Vineyard Syrah 2011, Casablanca Valley
Casablanca Valley, Chile$16.75
Blackberry, peppery, plus a few other elements that come together in an excellent syrah. Would buy more and likely cellar to 2016 as it has room to grow yet. 90+

Poeira Dusty 2010, Doc Douro
Douro, Portugal$16.75
Dusty is appropos. Dry and tannic, in the manner of a Barolo. This was good, but I really did not pick up any fruit notes. I think it may have benefited from another year in the cellar to round it out a bit. Definitely worth the discount bin price of $16.75.
Needs a salty steak to go with.
