Mike G and Berto visit Cleveland (Italian wines)+ (Willoughby, Ohio): I had hoped for more from this, but it was still very good. Perhaps some air would have helped more as I got one of the first pours. I meant to try and revisit it, but forgot about it along the way. Its got a very tight nose. Not giving off much. With some vigorous swirling, some black cherries emerge. On the palate, there are a lot of black cherries and a lovely texture. Then it finishes a little bitter and finally, a wave of alcohol/heat. I do air sorts a lot of this out though and it could be a point or two better.

James Suckling/Zachy's Super Tuscany Tasting (City Winery (Varick Street in NYC)): This was a very soft wine - almost velvety, could taste the elegance. Lighter on tannins and alcohol than some of the others of the day. Liked the wine, although recorded less impressions than some others.
