 Tasted by Fishntime5 on 5/14/2009 & rated 88 points: Okay don't buy again as a main stay (494 views)
 Tasted by Maestro on 4/27/2009 & rated 82 points: Alright Ripasso, but very fruit-forward and without enough complexity. The aromas are the usual red cherries and raisins, developing into some chocolate and spices after a lot of aeration. Not exciting. (657 views)

 Tasted by n8540 on 12/4/2008 & rated 86 points: Had at an Italian restaurant with fish. Nice and mellow, light enough to drink with fish, but structured enough to hold it's own. Served a little warmer than I would like, but overall a pretty good wine. (623 views)
