2010 Il Poggione (Proprietá Franceschi) Rosso di Montalcino
7/23/2013 - jacamp16 wrote: 85 Points
This opened up with a nose of wet laundry, rotting wood and red fruit. Not great out of the gate. The majority of the dirtiness blew off within the first hour leaving slightly darker fruit scents. The flavors were led off with sharp acid up front with a bright cherry flavor that would have been really nice had it not been followed up by a ridiculously bitter finish. It was tannic, which is fine, but boy was it bitter. It still wasn't a bad wine, just had higher hopes.

2012 Bacalhoa (Aliança) Vinho Verde

Perfectly nice wine that does its job very well. This isn't intended to blow anybody away with complexity, and it definitely doesn't. With that said, it's still a very solid $8 bottle of Vinho Verde. I would have scored this a little bit higher but the acid was a bit sharp in conjunction with the oddly more full texture. It also could have benefited from just a touch more CO2.
No relation to the judgment of the wine at all, but a HUGE upgrade on the label from years past.

2011 Pomum Cellars Riesling
2/17/2013 - jacamp16 Does not like this wine: 84 Points
I wish I could say otherwise because I'm usually a huge fan of Pomum but this bottle was flat out boring. Nothing wrong with it and for $11, eh... Flavors were that of prototypical WA riesling, which I normally really enjoy. Nothing offensive in the slightest, but everything was muted.
