A bit more subdued and settled than the last bottle I drank a couple of years ago. The fruit has pulled back a bit, and it’s showing a leaner, more savory side. While not something to ponder on its own, it’s a great accompaniment to dishes like tonight’s ragu, and at bottom I guess that’s what Ripassos are made for.

Little menthol, mild tannins, fruity. Enjoyable wine.
