The 2004 Amarone della Valpolicella is a powerful, tightly wound wine that will require patience. This large-scaled Amarone flows from the glass with remarkable intensity and thrust. Ripe dark fruit, tobacco, minerals and toasted oak gradually make an appearance as the wine opens up. A dramatic, unique wine, it will require some time in bottle to come together but this Amarone is already shaping up to be another winner from Marion. It is not to be missed. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2020.
This is another strong set of wines from Marion and proprietor Stefano Campedelli.
