Cavalchina Ripasso della Valpolicella Torre d'Orti

A very deep, almost murky dark, youthful purple. Deep black fruit on the nose: plums, prunes, cherry. Rich, plush palate. This is 14.5% abv, but the high alcohol isn't really noticeable. Very smooth and velvety in the mouth, with good character, and alarmingly drinkable.
