Drank over 4 days - first day surmaturite fruit and heat from the alcohol; second and third days drinking very well - much more balanced and showing more signs of old world; fourth day starting to fall off. Conclusion - age a couple more years in the cellar or decant 2-3hours in advance if drinking now
Not a great example of a Ripasso but good

This 2008 vintage is drinking well now. I expect it to improve over the next couple years.

More cerebral than bombastic: Monti vs Berlusconi. Sour cherry, spice, mid weight texture with mineral lift in lingering finish
