2007 Fattoria Selvanova Aglianico Terre del Volturno IGT 87 Points
Italy, Campania, Terre del Volturno IGT
Spice, funk and floral notes. Needs some more time in the cellar as it is a little tight. Should improve a point or two.

2008 Bodegas Salentein Malbec Killka Valle de Uco 90 Points

A great value wine to start off 2012. Blueberries, plum, spice and mild pepper. Medium finish and not a powerhouse wine but real elegant. Drink now and at $12 a real great every day wine.

Much better effort then the 08 La Flor Cab. While young should age for five years featuring blackberries, spices, floral and mineral notes.

2006 Seña 93 Points
Chile, Aconcagua Valley
Very nice wine and it helped it was open a day before. Bordeaux like with tobacco, spice, minerals and underbrush. Soft fruits and balanced. Medium to long finish and showing nice acidity. Hard to find a flaw on this wine and worth $50. 93-95.
