Il Bugiardo Ripasso Valpolicella Classico Superiore

Dark ruby in color with a ruby rim.

Lots of acetone on the nose, which drowns the fruits, but also with tart cherries, strawberries, raspberries, oak, spices, earth, leather, green pepper, chocolates, smoke, herbs and peppercorn.

Medium bodied with high acidity and some legs.

Tart and dry on the palate, with sour plums, cherries, strawberries, pomegranate, oak, licorice, spices and peppercorn.

Long tart finish with soft tannins and tart strawberries.

This Ripasso is unbalanced, not ready now, and needs a couple of years to chill in the bottle. Not a sipping wine, but rather better with food.

14% alcohol by volume.

Love the valpo

berries n raisins

2011-Full body medium plus concentration high viscosity nose intense of roses and dry flowers, fresh prune, blackberry, syrupy red cherry & raspberry, a touch of cinnamon, leather, chocolate medium plus tannins

Huge fruit. Great with burgers.

Complicated nose, in a good way.

Picked out by Jared, celebrating uncle Ralf's birthday. Great wine, and definitely worth the money and drinks up! Woooooo!!!!!

Very nice wine. Decanted for over an hour. Paired beautifully with a boar ragout.

Yum.
