Introduction
My notes were almost nonexistent, and it seemed to be something of an off palate day so take these with a grain of salt.

2004 Giacomo Grimaldi Nebbiolo d'Alba Valmaggiore

Very lifted nose, maybe crossing into VA territory. Much better in the mouth, but was still distracted by ethyl acetate. Cherry, rose petal, earth, very tannic.

1998 Massolino Barolo Riserva Vigna Rionda
Italy, Piedmont, Langhe, Barolo
Kind of a muted nose. Flavors of rose petal, iron, tart cherry, earth. Very long finish. High quality, but for me this lacks freshness, tastes baked.

2004 Oasi Degli Angeli Kurni Marche IGT
Italy, Marche, Marche IGT
Dark, pitch black cassis, plum, earth, chocolate. Slightly sweet, as it is made from partially raisined fruit. Quite tannic. Like most wines of this type (save a few Sforzato) this didn't do a lot for me.
