WTN:Tommasi Ripasso Valpolicella Classico Superiore 2008

Veneto

Dark red in the glass.

Leather, smoky, stewed cherry fruit on the nose.

Full in the mouth, smoky, earthy, tomato, cherry, cranberry, currants, dried flowers and fruit, some veggy notes, high acidity, blood pudding, smoked meat, with a fairly intense bitter streak.

Drying, tangy, cherry fruit on the finish.

I found the high acidity and intense bitterness to be annoying.

Purchased at $17.95 (Canadian).
