A bit much. Not elegant but super intense and almost seemed young. Only 13% but felt like more. — 12 days ago

Medium tawny color. Aromas of raspberry, smoke and hint of meatiness. Sharp red fruit, great wine from 1982! Cork fell apart with cork puller but oh well! — 3 years ago

Oh wow, this is #valpolicellaripasso is lovely, bolt of cassis, bramble fruit and just this really faint undertone of peppery spice. Though this is Ripasso it’s very lithe on the palate - not weighty at all, fleshy acidity and that subtle peppery spice on the finish. This bottle will disappear fast, with or without a meal pairing. #corvina — 5 months ago

Needs air at this young age but quickly hits its stride. Really fragrant, with zesty, ripe berries, spice, a yeasty, fresh bread note, and mineral-flecked turned gravel. Loads of upfront fruit, but in a dry package with zingy acids. Slight bitter note complements the fruit. So pure tasting and food flexible. Textbook. — 2 years ago

"This 2016 vintage is not new Barolo. It's old Barolo, from the town of Serralunga, a star among the sub zones of the Alba appellation. The winemakers Luciano and Walter described themselves as traditional to the bone, using native yeast organic biodynamic farming, and Slovenian larger style oak barrels. He'll taste the tar, plus black cherry, leather, rust and forest floor." — 4 years ago
