Gemma Giblin Riserva Barolo 2006, Piedmont D.O.C.G., Italy: A terrific Barolo! Big, tannic grip but gorgeous flavours flow in and around that dry feeling with juicy dried cherries and leather and smoke. Full-bodied with an incredibly long finish on this robust red wine. Dried tobacco leaves and leather on a satisfying ending. Drink: 2014-2019. 185025 14% D 750 mL  $49.95 Score: 95/100. March 29, 2014 Top Rated Red Wine. Best Beef Wine Full Review

Monte del Frá Lena Di Mezzo Amarone Della Valpolicella Classico 2009, Veneto D.O.C.G., Italy: Full-bodied and remarkable lively for such a towering, well-structured red wine. It offers seductive aromas of dark spices, black fleshy cherry and mouth-watering juiciness. Balanced, deep, concentrated and long. Just the way you want the perfect evening to go. Try it with prime rib. Drink: 2013-2019. 47506 15% D 750 mL  $52.95 Score: 92/100. March 7, 2015 Top Rated Red Wine. Best Beef Wine Full Review
