Le Sciare Salento Negroamaro 2013

on May 2nd, 2015 at 2:36:21 AM

Dry italian red. Medium to big body. Rich almost apple-like forward notes with leather in the finish.  Quite nice to drink and good with red meats and game.

Vicolo Primitivo 2013

100% Primitivo. meaty with  a very nice start. a little earthy but not mineraly.  This wine would be very good with a red gamey meat or a strong cheese like raclette.

Interesting Big White.  A musky mouth feel with a certain buttery richness. Hints of pear on the tounge.  The wine is not super dry but the interesting nature of the wine compensates.

Sicilian red. A blend of Mero d'avola, merlot and syrah.  A drift towards the sweet and despite the blend, not really all that complicated. perhaps if it were a bit dryer and brighter it would stand out.

100% Pinot Noir. Nicely Dry yet fruity.  Raspberry notes with a mineral finish. Quite delicious in fact. Easily drinkable but with out the silly sweetness that lots of 'drinkable' roses have.

Very bright start. It almost seems sweet because of all the berry notes.  Very little nose to it which does not lead to complexity but, while it seems sweet, it ends very crisp and does not stick on the tounge like sweeter wines.  

2012 Rosso Piceno Saladini Pilastri

Very nice and dry italian red.  Fairly full-bodied, not thin at all. a quite inexpensive wine and a good value.  I have not let it breath very long so it might degrade quicky.

Tenuta Ibidini Nero D'Avola 2012

Sicilian red wine.  Dry and light to medium bodied.  Fruity with a bitter cocao finish. not a big wine and needs to be drunk with a red meat or savory vegtables.  Having had it with smoked salmon and with hummos that is a non-starter.

Gran Sasso la bella Addormentata

Simple tasting red.  fresh out of the bottle a little too butter and not full in flavor.  A nicer finish but not a full taste.  in the end it ends up somehow salty on the tongue.  THis is too bad becasue it is very reasonably priced.

Castano monastrell 2012

Dry fairly leggy red.  A little bit of leather  with a medium body.  more muksy than fruity and not very complex. Would be good with a burger or lamb.
