A vital, ruby-red colour with deep core. An intense, powerful aroma with berry fruit (plums and cherries), Italian herbs, sweet oak and a spicy cocoa. A wide, powerful and soft taste with cherries, plums, blackberries and Italian condiments. A friendly style with an excellent balance.

1 person found it helpfulFeb 7th, 2020Intense aroma of plum, blackberry, cherry cola, fresh herbs, sprinkled with coffee, cedar, and slightest hint of green pepper. The palate is savory, textured, and vibrant, and has the right balance of concentration and freshness of the raisinated juice. Elegant silky twinning.
This Ripasso far exceeds my expectation. Remarkable complexity of nose and depth of flavor for a $15 bottle.
