A fantastic value. Velvety texture, roundness of flavor, with ripe plum, black cherry, and faint graphite - all balanced by lift at the end. Paired perfectly with both Arctic char and duck. Excellent

Nope. Didn't have any taste of valp. Ripasso on it. Way too young at that.

Bitter chocolate and dusty earth on the nose. Mint, green pepper, coconut and redcurrant flavors have a Bordeaux like profile.

Really nice fruit on the nose, very drinkable with slight tannins and spicy black leathery fruit on the palate. For around $20 this is fantastic.
