2005 Tenuta San Leonardo San Leonardo 87 Points
Italy, Trentino Alto-Adige / Veneto, Vigneti delle Dolomiti IGT
Tasted just after the Villa Gresti from San Leonardo and it has some of the same positive traits. However, I find that some finesse is lost in too much oak flavor.

2007 Lenotti Amarone della Valpolicella Classico 90 Points
Italy, Veneto, Valpolicella, Amarone della Valpolicella Classico
First you get the sweetness and the round body, then finally a nice "bite". One of the better Amarones I have tasted in recent years.

2005 Cascina Ballarin Barolo Bussia 92 Points
Italy, Piedmont, Langhe, Barolo
No time for notes, but just a really really nice and elegant Barolo that lets you taste the fruit without drowning it all in tannins and oak (as too many Barolos do IMHO)

Didn't have time for detailed notes. A complex wine with berries and smoke, but still very young...

2006 Gaja Barolo Dagromis 83 Points
Italy, Piedmont, Langhe, Barolo
Maybe expected too much, but was quite disappointed. On the palate I got very brief berries and fruit, but then it died in tannins.

2006 Tenuta Caparzo Brunello di Montalcino Rio Cassero 87 Points
Italy, Tuscany, Montalcino, Brunello di Montalcino
Tasted immediately after the big brother "2006 Tenuta Caparzo Brunello di Montalcino" and the Rio Cassero is good but seems more basic in comparison.

2005 Borgo Scopeto (Tenuta Caparzo) Chianti Classico Riserva Misciano 87 Points
Italy, Tuscany, Chianti, Chianti Classico DOCG
Lovely nose, classic sangiovese. On the palate I, however, find it too powerful with respect to tannin.
