2015 Begali Lorenzo Ripasso
The old adage “Good things come to those who wait” hits the nail on the head for this Classico Superiore from the Veneto region of Italy. When purchased 5 years ago, in its youth it tasted a little rough around the edges but I knew that the building blocks...

A Tasting the Classics treat. This Spanish version of drinking a First Growth Bordeaux or a Grand Cru Burgundy is quite amazing for its age. This was terrior at it’s finest with huge earthy flavors, dried rustic cherry, prune, leather, tea, and black truffles exuding new aromas as it...
