Rochioli / Rafanelli

[MikeE]

Had a couple zins over the weekend:

'96 Rochioli Sodini - fruit driven wine; excellent extraction; almost sweet; smooth on the palate; decent acidity and little tannins; drink and enjoy now; i liked it, but it didn't knock me out.

'95 Rafanelli - now this is zin! great extraction; deep color; blackberrie and black cherries; great balance between fruit, acidity and tannins; slighlty peppery/tangy; this one did knock me out!
