Winery Review: Opaque ruby. The Ripasso is youthful in appearance and taste with notes of red cherry, black pepper, and creamy milk chocolate. It's big, full-fruited, exotically flavored and delicious with mouth coating density. A classic vintage.
My Review: This Ripasso immediately had an aroma of oak and tobacco for me. After tasting, the tannins were definitely present but not overpowering. The fruit flavor came through which was a nice balanced with the tannins.
I did not have this wine with food.
