Boasting a bold, in-your-face style, the 2009 Amarone della Valpolicella Classico Vigna Monte Danieli is almost too much of a good thing. The bouquet is painted in broad brush strokes with thick, dark lines of blackberry, leather and spice. The mouthfeel is chewy, rich and openly sweet. That bounty is followed by a powerful blast of 16% alcohol. This is a big Amarone that I liked a little less than the 2007 vintage.
