Poured in a decanter and tasted. In a Riedel Cab glass it came out very sour and stalky; quite undrinkable. Much better in the Riedel XL series Syrah glass. Red cherry, dried herbs, earth. Light with firm tannin and fresh acidity. Red cherry and red plum with an herbal element on the finish. It definitely needs food.

When I first opened the bottle I noticed a tangible aroma of red currants, ripe figs and tobacco. An hour and a half into the bottle I get none of those aromas anymore. The wine is a typical modern Ripasso from Valpolicella. It compares well against its regional mates such as the Musella Valpolicella Superiore Classico (which used to be my favorite wine back in the days). It has a bit of tannic aftertaste but not as much as I would have liked. I'd love to try it side by side with its Amarone sibling.

Not a bad wine but not coarse enough for my taste
