Loads of dates and plums on the nose. Full-bodied, silky and very rich. Long. This shows very good potential. Best after 2006. 1,600 cases made, 250 cases imported.??–JS??Region: Italy / Amarone della Valpolicella Classico Select to Add

Dried fruit with a lot of woody, spicy aromas make for an alluring, somewhat rustic nose. The palate, however, delivers round fruit flavors touched up by plenty of sweet mocha and vanilla notes. Finely textured, with a long, supple finish. Almost a no-brainer as goes Amarone.——W.E.(11/1/2005)—— 91
