Community Tasting Note

Tuesday, July 2, 2019 - PnP, but would benefit from some air. The nose was quite raisinated, as might be expected. The medium to plus bodied palate yielded plenty of dark cherry fruit, some raisins, some spice, and nicely balancing acidity. The tannins were integrated and the 14.5% abv under control. Not sure it will develop any further, but should hold for a couple of years. At $20 retail (on sale) it's a few bucks more than many other Ripassos, but a step above in quality.
Wish there weren't 3 different CT listings for the same wine...
