I miss Amarone after living in the UK. This Ripasso 2013 doesn't quite hit the mark of Amarone but it's delicious and beautiful all the same

Timed blind tasting with my brother and a wine importer in Oslo last night (points on the clock weighed up against the answer). This one threw us both. Tasted straight out of the bottle it was completely closed so it was a competition in fast-paced swilling for the first five minutes. I jumped for a South Rhone when the pepper and dark fruits appeared but should have waited for the sour cherries to emerge. Was kicking myself when the other guy got it two minutes later...

Very nice, almost amarone style wine but for a good price. Lot of character, quite tart but very full
