A Ripasso that has acquired more Amarone character than most. Nose has spiced fruitcake and some spirity port-like rich fruit. Instantly mouthfilling, but with lots of structural scaffolding. Only quibble is a bit of heat shows through at the end, but with something like a rich brasato that shouldn't be noticeable and may even be a plus.

Really good dark fruit. Shorter finish, but smooth and great mouthfeel. Needed about 2 hours to open. Drank at Lon's.

Dried fig, cherry, prune, complex, nice finish. Needs to breath a little.
