With Ron and Bambi April 2023.

Very fruity, bright. First taste was so mildly corked you could not detect it on the nose, but there was a tiny hint of grapefruit pith. Second bottle was opened and was brighter, a tiny bit softer, and the fruit was brighter and more berry like.

Tasty medium bodied ripasso. Definite raisin, hints of licorice, spices (nutmeg, allspice, clove), and leather. Feel like we caught this one at a good time — 2016 drinking great in 2020. Really nice balance of the fruit, which seems to be just starting to fade, and the terroir/spice/leather, which are speaking a bit louder.
