Scarpa (Antica Casa Vinicola Scarpa)
Rouchet Rosso da Tavola Ruche
Italy
1996. Bold menthol and eucalyptus, clove and dried fruits. Velvety texture with cigar box and menthol notes. Long bright finish which was unexpected. Really fascinating wine

Drinking with mom and dad for Mother's Day. Plumish but with some brown-ness. Not garnet but orange-er. Nose is minimal. It has a little something but it is hard to place. It is juicy, surprisingly so, but the age shows through. It is complex and grows. A little sweetness, pomegranate maybe. It is very good. $150 at Fiola (1996)
