This session was based on Italian theme.
Scavino Carobic 1998 a little italian stink but not over the top. loads still of cherry fruit.. a little wax on the finish
Clerico single vineyard Barolo.. cedar and mint on the noe.. again loads of fruit with a lush finish
Barolo di Marchesi 1991.. served from magnum.. one of the most interesting wine noses I have encountered.. diesel and pepper.. almondy finish with some burnt rubber... didnt care for it like my fellow samplers did.
Sito Moresco Gaja 2008.. earthy nose but fruit on the palate.. Nebbiolo cab and merlot..
Summus Banfi 1999.. super tuscan with sangiovese and international grapes.. so it said on the bottle. dirty crayon again on the nose, some cab but again with the almondy finish.
Ca'Marcanda Magari 2005.. super tuscan also... showing more fruit and lush tannins.. better than the summus
Ruffino Serelle Vin Santo 2004... almond and marzapan.. thick but not overly unctious.. pretty... surprisingly light body.
