Amarone Di Carlo adds a touch of cinnamon, ginger and ground clove to a bouquet that is already redolent of vanilla and sweet cherry fruit. This is not a meaty or overextracted expression; in fact, it feels compact and bright on the close.——M.L.(2/1/2011)—— 90

This is an attractive wine on many fronts: the mature fruit aromas, the generous spice and the well-integrated oak tones all create harmony. But the wine also has a hint of rubber or Band Aid in the background that may well intensify with time. Drink it now.——M.L.(12/1/2008)—— 88

This wine is a bruiser and a pleaser with loads of spice and excellent intensity that is feathered out by herbaceous highlights, almond, coffee, cedar, root beer and cherry cola. It has good acidity, freshness and persistency.——M.L.(10/1/2007)—— 91
