  My first experience with refosco. Needed an hour in the decanter to open up. Very plush and round tannins. Loads of black fruit. Some olive and a nice mineral spine. Reminded me of a Cab Franc from the loire. Really a very nice wine but the way prices have sky-rocketed I won't be loading up the truck. As I have no other experience with this wine/grape I would be curious to see how this develops with more bottle age.

  Big Boy Bordeaux Spring Dinner (Morton's Northbrook): A unique wine that is clearly very well made and impressive, yet perhaps a bit of an acquired taste. Aromas of licorice, sweet black fruits, toast, and scorched earth. A big momma as everything while amazingly in balance is turned up on high. Bold concentrated sweet black fruits accompany a huge structure of acid and tannin packing real punch. Somewhat reminiscent of a Del Forno amarone from a top vintage. Thanks Jeff!

  Calvari 2002: rosso rubino concentrato con sfumature porpora. Naso largo e dolce, frutta scura matura, yogurt al mirtillo, spezie dolci, foglia di the. Bocca larga, calda, il tannino si fa sentire, spigoloso ed asciuga un po' nel finale. Chiude sapido con ritorni di frutta dolce e spezie. Ancora da assestarsi.
