  Wednesday, September 08, 2010 - Surprisingly good. I was expecting less. An old-world style, but with some panache and even a wee fruit in there. High good (84.5).

  Wednesday, September 08, 2010 - Very nice wine al though not my typical choice. Lots of dark fruit and christmas sprices in the nose. Fairly warm and massive fruit but impeccable balance over all, and ok lenght. Still tanins left and I think this wine will easily live another 5 years time. Great QPR.

  Friday, September 03, 2010 - Not as impressive as the previous Zenato Ripassa I had. Not sure if this bottle was a little off, or was the wrong selection of food to go with the wine.
  Anyway, wine showed too much hit and was clearly off balance. After 30 minutes it did improve, but wasn't the same as before.
  Stil very good, especially considering its price range.

  Thursday, September 02, 2010 - Nice dark hue. Dark fruit, cinnamon and spice on nose. Medium to full body. Wonderful boysenberry and dark fruit taste with plenty of spiciness. Smooth and well integrated. Perfect tannin structure and enough acid to balance the fruit. Good long finish. I really like this wine.

  Thursday, August 26, 2010 - Overall this is an easy drinking sweet dark fruit dominated wine on both the nose and palate, with a very soft mouth feel that leaves a pleasant lingering sweet inkiness on the palate. Medium nose of primarily black raspberry jam with tones of ink. Taste of ripe black fruit, pencil lead, ink well and soft tannins.
