Nose: pronounced aromas of sweet, ripe cherries, sour red currants, oak flavours of vanilla Mouth: o/d, m+ prickly acid, m- tannins, 13% alcohol, medium- body, short acid driven and slightly bitter finish. Conclusion: the residual sugar carries it for a bit, but then falls of and reveals a lack of fruit which leads to a sour finish. Too old? The flavour in the mouth are overwhelming, giving me headache connotations, but guess that’s just ripasso for you.

rich full color and aromas of powder and stone. This wine has disappointed for the second time due to its clumsy harsh structure that combines for a flat taste. Not a good value for the price.

Toast, redcurrant, smoke and raisins. Ripe and fairly soft on the palate, it has plenty of red fruits and moderate acidity. Good approachability with the upfront sweetness, drink over the next 5-6 years.

Well made with medium body. Soft and ready to drink, no real potential to develop but elegant ripasso with no overtone of sweetness.
