2007. Raisin, prune, vanilla extract, cherry cough syrup, cocoa...you can pull notes out of this all day. Long finish with good integration and a nice, syrupy mouthfeel.

Enjoyable but a little unbalanced. Strong raisiny note for first 30 min but that evens out. A metal note, indistinct fruit notes, a bit sweet.

Amarone, valpolicella. Crosara de le Strie. 2013. Too thin and too much wood for my liking.

Far too much oak for my liking. Made the wine thin and tangy. Not for me.

Thanks G4 for inviting me to wine & food pairing at Il Bolognese. Deep maroon color with complex aromas of black fruits, cherry, tobacco, and spices on the nose. Full-bodied and follows by jammy flavors of blackberry, cherry, plum, chocolate, truffle, and soft peppery spices on the palate. Solid structure, firm tannins, and juicy aftertaste. Vibrant & delicious and paired well with red meat.
