Dark red-purple in the glass. Black cherry, plum on the nose. Fleshy palate of black cherry, some vanilla. Tannins surprisingly soft and acidity strikingly low for a Riserva. Not bad wine, -- works well with my cheap pizza -- but not what one should expect from the classification. Even six years on, I should be getting more "oomph" from a CCR. Glad I paid a wicked low price at the state store, and understand why I could do so. Don't hold. Drink up.
