odds and ends for may 13

Bodi wines today we tasted some Italian
Il Folio Prosecco Extra Dry I wish i liked prosecco but there is something that I dont like about the finish it reminds me of burnt aspirin i think. but the front of the palate on this wine is nice and sweet, honey almost. great as a bellini with peach nectar.

Morisfarms Morellino di Scansano 2006 a region of tuscany that is getting some notice for value wines. this is mostly sangiovese, and stainless steel so no oxidation. starts out fresh but there is a dullness in the mid and not a long finish.

Vinae Familae Rosso di Montalcino 2004 baby Brunello...a touch mildew on the nose, earthy or bottle variation?? not a lot of fruit although these wines tend to take time to lost their astringentness if thats a word...we will try another bottle sometime
