This wine isn't bad, but it doesn't taste like Valpolicella -- whether Ripasso style or regular style.
Crystalline dark ruby color.  Boisterous nose of very tightly-wound fruit (berries, cherries, and plums) and pungent minerally scents (almost verging into acetate).  Tight, simple, and crisp in the mouth, , with focused fruit on entry, fading quickly into a metallic/minerally finish.  81.  Was $10.65 at Spec's on Smith.
