In spite of the warm vintage this comes across as fairly dry for the genre and finishes clean dry and fairly long. There is good structure and extraction and should drink very well in upcoming years. Great QPR.

January 18, 2010 - Not the greatest recioto in the world, but hey, even a mediocre recioto beats some dried up, funky, mouth searing, charmless nebbiolo any day. This recioto lacked depth and structure, but it was sweet, sexy, and well balanced.
