TASTING NOTE: Always nice to revisit the elegance of Tedeschi's Ripasso, with its vibrant red fruit, acid lift, and alcohol in perfect balance. The tannins are angular, and pleasantly firm. Great width on the mid-palate and linear finish. Lingering cherry, strawberry jam and plum notes. Drinking window: 2022-2032. Score - 92 (Ines Salpico, decanter.com, Nov. 4, 2022) Price $ 26.95
