Tasting note:

Vintages Wine Panel: Lovely savoury Ripasso with expressive aromas of baking spices, cocoa, cherry and blackberry, with notes of smoked meat and tomato leaf. Dry, medium bodied with bright acidity and a core of spicy fruit. Lingering, flavourful finish. Enjoy this tasty red. My note: Juicy and savoury with aromas of black cherry bacon fat (love it), dark spices, vanilla smoke and happiness. Full-bodied and layered with good balance and finish. Food matches: meaty pasta dishes, veal chops.

Natalie who?
Yes, I'm a certified sommelier and was named the World's Best Wine Writer at the World Food Media Awards. Blah, blah, blah. What really matters is that I know which wines can increase your hedonistic happiness... a lot. Don't worry, spam doesn't pair well with wine!
