Introduction
I think this was the start of our string of really good tastings. Good variety of wines, and a rarity of 2 Amarones showing up.

2010 Georges Lignier et Fils Morey St. Denis 1er Cru Clos des Ormes
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Morey St. Denis 1er Cru
Light color, nice nose, bright red fruit, a little sous bois. High toned acid. Thought younger Burg, probably south. Guessed 2011 Beaune 1er.

2007 Masi Amarone della Valpolicella Classico Mazzano
Italy, Veneto, Valpolicella, Amarone della Valpolicella Classico
Much darker, coffee nose. Rich, big, bitter chocolate on palate. Thought maybe new Right Bank Bordeaux, heavy Merlot. Guessed 09 or '10 St Emilion. Totally fooled, but this is a baby. Hold for a while.

1995 Paul Jaboulet Aîné Hermitage La Chapelle 93 Points
France, Rhône, Northern Rhône, Hermitage
Spicy, a bit dirty on the nose. Taste is a bit ripe, has some baby aspirin and mineral. That tipped me to guess Cdp, wrong. Definitely had some age, color change, so guessed '01 CdP. Still, my WOTN and group WOTN.

2009 Kongsgaard Kings Farm
USA, California, Napa Valley
Really dark, completely opaque. Big, rich. I thought maybe Syrah, guessed Paso Robles area '07.

2010 San Giusto a Rentennano Chianti Classico Riserva Le Baroncole 90 Points
Italy, Tuscany, Chianti, Chianti Classico DOCG
Moderate color, nose is nice, bit sweet. Good, balanced, has a bit of backbone. This was my wine, so knew what it was, but others were all in Tuscany (if not Chianti). My #3 wine of the night and group #2.

2010 Brigaldara Amarone della Valpolicella Classico 91 Points
Italy, Veneto, Valpolicella, Amarone della Valpolicella Classico
Ripe, but not dark. Round, but has some balance. Was thinking Italy, but initially not sure where. Someone said Amarone, and though color says no, taste says yes. Based on that, nailed my guess exactly. My #2 wine of the night.

2010 Albert Morot Beaune 1er Cru Les Toussaints
France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Beaune 1er Cru
Great nose and taste. It's bright, crunchy fruit, definitely Burgundian. Has tannin, so thought maybe Pommard due to that and a bit of leanness.

2007 Tenuta Sette Ponti Oreno Toscana IGT
Italy, Tuscany, Toscana IGT
Dark color. Something says Italy to me on the palate, SuperTuscan, Merlot blend. I guessed 2006 Oreno, just off by a year. Still pretty youthful, but to me textbook Oreno style.
