2010 Le Roselle Ripasso.

Dark in color with a mild nose of red berries and some wood. On the mid pallet the has some nice red berries but on the milder side. On the finish the wine has solid firm tannins, firm acidity and it burned a bit on the throat. I would give it an 88 or so. It’s a bigger wine for sure.
