J-M Burgaud Morgon Côte du Py "James" 2009 - James is the super-cuvée from Morgon, very expensive for Beaujolais at almost 30€, but it is also very good. Dark toned, dense, deep and serious. Deeply tannic, savoury, tangy. It's good stuff, but it doesn't seem terribly like any other Beaujolais I have had. Needs lots of age.
Verrocchio Amarone della Valpolicella Classico 2007 was our other wine. Verrocchio is a new collaboration between a Nordic importer and several smaller producers. This was pretty fine stuff, though not the most hugely complex wine. Dark fruit, a bit reductive; sweet, soft entry but with a bit of bite toward the end. The 15% abv is not obvious. Decent.
