Apart from the 10X label invasion, this exam example was a textbook Ripasso. Dried cherry and prune fruit. Broad, cedary aromatics. Touch of spice. Medium body, rich black cherry fruit. Smooth texture, with sweet-savoury, slightly baked fruit. Quite bright acidity, light tannins. Quite long, cedary and chilli spice finish.
