Ripe fruit, flavourful, attractive at first sip. Probably a very good place right now in terms of bottle age. Cherry, herbs, toasty oak. Everything is well integrated at this point. Acidity is balanced, alcohol is hot.
I can't say this wine really reminded me of other Ripasso style wines I've had in the past. This wine didn't improve with air. Probably will not improve with more bottle age.

Bright vibrant ruby red. Strong legs. Medium plus accidity. Palateable tannins. Tanned leather. Red bell peppers. Nice wine. Young. Could use another year to age.

2/5 - Over the hill, pretty much at the bottom of the hill, this was more like a sherry than a wine.
very sweet, brown.
couldnt drink it, had to move on to another wine.
some points as this may have a second life as a sherry substitue.

Ripasso style. Slight smoky minerally notes. Minty. Light bodied. Cool black fruits. Decent acidity.
