Valpolicella Ripasso Classico Superiore 'Cicilio' 2009

90

Dark red. Plum, cardamom and cinnamon on the nose. Broader and sweeter than the estate's Valpolicella, with deeper fruit flavors of blackcurrant and black cherry. Like all ripassos, this is in a richer style, with good stuffing and palate presence, but I don't necessarily think that it's a better wine than the very pinot-like Valpolicella Classico made by Degani in 2010

Intense and vinous nose of strawberries, raspberries and pepper. The super-tense palate is crisp and tight, with chalky yet ripe tannins, a light to medium body and a savory, peppery finish. Drink now.

BEST BUY! Crushed red cherries, juice dripping down the cheeks and wild flower aromas permeate the glass of this red. Well balanced with fine tannins and zippy acidity that shines with raspberry and red currant flavors balanced by fresh herbs and black tea notes on the finish.
