  July 20, 2015 - PnP. Brought to the cabin so no formal notes. Similar to prior bottle but with less of the rum. Wonderful texture.
  
  Enjoyed in a Riedel Vinum Chianti Classico glass at about 65F.

  September 1, 2013 - PnVnD. Dark maroon with a purple tinge. Super viscous and glass staining. Nice nose of raisins, a floral element I can't place my finger on, spice, and...rum! There was something familiar about the nose but I couldn't place it. I read baseballvino's review and came across the reference to rum so I stuck my nose in an open bottle of rum and, sure enough, I get the reference. Nice, supple texture with a great midpalate and persistent finish.
  
  Day 2 was very similar after Vacuvin'ing and putting in a regular fridge.
  
  Enjoyed in a Riedel Vinum Chianti Classico glass at about 67°F.

  October 12, 2012 - This is a big bruiser of a Ripasso that almost reminds more of Amarone than Ripasso. Dark, thick, unctuous, and slightly sweet, this wine shows tons of dried fruit, spice cake, earth and a hint of salinity. Strong entry, mid-palate, and explosive finish. I really loved this on many levels, but I am still slightly puzzled by the Amarone style of this Ripasso. This is almost a baby-Amarone for less than $20 locally here in Austin. The only tricky thing with this wine is the food pairing. Because it is more Amarone-like, I think certain foods like game, rich cheeses and roasted meat will be required for this to show well with dinner. Definitely Recommended.
