This wine was garnet-ruby in color, clear and dense. Wet tobacco, dried raspberry, spice, plum and floral notes fill the nose from this wine. Mouthwatering acidity and firm tannins exist on this light to medium bodied wine. Flabors of cherry ad black pepper disappear quickly with the short finish.

Muted nose. Pleasant - but maybe a bit sur-ripe - cherry/berry fruit. Dust. Sweet espresso with a pepper overlay. Few tannins. No "tea" notes typical of a ripasso wine. In short: a pleasant wine to drink now with little complexity.

Drank with chicken and mushrooms. Nicely paired. Needed to open up a little.
