Sipping Fine Wine

9.3

Deep Ruby with aromas of dried fruits, savory spices and smoky notes. On the palate sweet plum and cherry flavors, savory, with citrus, licorice, pepper & cacao. Soft tannins, chewy on long finish, great balance with acidity, nice mouthfeel, ending with an oaky character. — 3 months ago

Still a nice bottle, sour crush although a bit light the palette. Expecting a bit more. — 4 months ago

Just gorgeous - inky dark brooding, gobs of blackberry but more black cherry mingled with licorice (more anise), medicinal, forest floor, raisins & prunes. Silky sexy viscous fat across mid palate and then off to lingering echoing finish. Just wanted a bit more acidity thru finish, but for the age, relieved it showed so well. — 3 months ago

9.1

Before airing, nose was weird and furniture-like. But things normalized quickly. This is one of the more complex non-Ripasso Valpos out there (yes, I know it’s not officially DOC). Nose has bitter cherry, almond, tilled soil (almost like the smell of just-pulled carrots). Great balance, fruit and acid in abundance, soft mouthfeel, lighter weight. Tannins resolved. Bone dry. Finish is minerally and savory. Would work with a wide range of Italian food. I should note that the back label states that this was made in accordance with a 19th century traditional technique, including aging in chestnut and cherrywood barrels. — 3 months ago

Cherry cola. I drank this over several hours. In the end is the true flavor. Dry cherry cola. I totally enjoyed because theater are much more complexity. Very fruit forward. Cherry. But finish is sweet dry and smooth. I enjoyed this wine. — 7 months ago
