Had the Tomassi Ripasdo a few days ago, and it was, as the French would say... Le Trash.

I’ll Sestante is different... way better than I remember it. It actually tastes like a Ripasso.

Black forrest (birthday) cake.

Well balanced flavours of dark fruits with nose aroma of strawberry fusing into muted sweet of raspberries, then tobacco and lengthy finish of lightly charred oak. Soft tannins

Nice wine. Slightly dry. Good mouthfeel for a thinner wine. Lively flavour with lots of berry notes and a nice finish.

Faint smell nothing strong. Dry but doesn't leave your mouth feeling like a desert. Leaves a sensation not sure how to put it into words though. Smooth going down. Overall good but tastes a bit too light for me. Still great though.

A medium-bodied wine that is very smooth. It is somewhat dry but does not give that puckering crispy feel. Bit as stewy, or if as Shiraz but really good :)
