A nice seductive wine. A wonderful nose of cigar box and leather. Lots of cherries. Somehow still is a little disjointe. the oak has a strong lead. I'm not sure if it'll improve more

Dense syrupy black red colour. Sweet curranty fruit nose, cough syrup and dark chocolate. Complex flavours in the mouth, thick luscious fruit, spicy oak coming through. Very good length and a firm decisive finish.

a gorgeous nose along with ripe red cherries, cough syrup, spices and minerals on a medium-bodied frame. Made in a sweet, inviting style, it offers excellent length as well as purity in a very classic style. It also appears to have enough fruit to compensate for the volatile acidity which is present. Anticipated maturity: 2007-2018.
His 2005 Ripasso remains one of the greatest Valpo I have ever tasted.
