More Reviews

Opinions about wine differ greatly as the experience is subjective. You may find it helpful to compare this critical evaluation of the wine with mine as well as your own:
Jeremy Sprott rated this wine as 85/100 with the following review:

The nose has sour cherry, peppery spices, along with cedar, leather and meaty notes. The sour cherry, pepper and herbaceous notes are front and centre when tasted. While I found this to be lighter than other Ripasso wines, it was pleasant on its own and had enough body and good acidity that allowed it to stand up nicely to a robust tomato based meat sauce.
This superb Ripasso is a perennial favourite with Vintages customers. Fruit-forward, with complex notes of cherry, herbs, and cranberry masterfully integrated with spicy pepper and meat notes. Dry and medium-full bodied with a flavourful and lingering finish. The upfront style makes this a very pleasant sipping wine.
