Wow! I prefer Barolo but prefer not to spend. Smooth cherry. Short finish. Drinkable — 6 years ago
Beautiful balance of bright sour cherry and the deeper golden raisin flavors. Great tannin structure and some tan soil terroir notes give the fruit depth. The nose is a lively preview. Definitely shines at cellar temps — don’t let this one get to room temp or the alcohol gets too hot (at 15.5% that’s bound to happen). Drinking great 7 years in. — 5 years ago

Great red blend! Easy for the masses. Perfect dryness with robust flavors. — 4 years ago
Decent drop of Val, the hearty bouquet doesn't bely the depth of body and concentration. — 10 years ago

Tart and dark cherry, earthy, some green vegetal notes. Doesn’t have the same depth of Sun dried red fruit as other ripassos I’ve tried, but it’s a solid example of the style. — 4 months ago
