2007 Falchini Campora Toscana IGT Cabernet Sauvignon

In a better spot now than the last tasting. Very good bottle but on the pricey side for the quality of the juice.

This bottle has more weight than prior ones. Solid bottle.

2011 Tommaso Bussola Amarone della Valpolicella Classico Corvina Blend, Corvina

3/24/2018 - Al-Vino Does not like this wine:

88 points

This bottle should be wrapped in a Sun-Maid label. Raisins are too dominant and overpowering. Instead of tossing it, we did the next best thing and made an Amarone risotto.

Al-Vino commented:

Very fruit forward,tooth staining wine that trades on brand recognition and at a significant premium over similar quality wine. At this price point, more finesse is expected.

Al-Vino commented:

9/5/16, 12:39 PM - In hindsight, this just needed time to come together.
