Decanted for one hour. Subtle nose of red fruit. Full bodied, smooth and supple with discreet red toned fruit, firm acidity, decent dusty bite and a hint of oak and chocolate on the finish. Overall very balanced and delicious. In a good spot but can still hold for many years.

Dark in color, ruby red. Aroma of cherry, tobacco and slight hints of vanilla bean. After some intense swirling, blackberry also appeared on the nose. On the palate, the wine was weighty, full bodied and still had strong tannins and structure. It was a fruity wine with great flavor that coated your entire mouth and left a long dry finish. If you like a dry robust wine, this is it. This wine could continue to develop for years to come.

Solid! Amarone, produced by a small family business in traditional handicraft, is classy and good. But not outstanding. Clear vanilla in the aroma, well integrated wood, probably no barrique. In the taste comes the wine with a lot of start and full aromas, violets, cherries and raspberries. A lively fruit acid. Everything dry, very clearly separated and clearly accentuated. No jam, no force in bags, but more the fine wine with clean aromas. Very good food, to the cozy TV …

Beau velours, pas super complexe, voire simple mais bien! Prêt à boire.

Dark red, good body and relatively spicy, taste of cherries and a hint of vanilla. Drank with a beef tenderloin, it worked well. Decent Amarone, but far from the best one from the good year 2011.

Couleur sombre, nez de cuir et agrumes, cerise. En bouche une certaine amertume, mais un ensemble agréable. Bu à la Rucola, bld Malesherbes à Paris.

This wine is based on Campolieti Valpolicella Superiore, which is fermented and aged in stainless steel. After the raisined grapes destined for the Amarone are pressed, the remaining grape pomace is transferred to some tanks containing Campolieti Valpolicella and these wines become Campolieti Ripasso. These wines are aged for a year in small barrique barrels and larger Slavonian oak casks. 4 g/l residual sugar. Tasted blind. Quite opaque black cherry color. Quite bold and somewhat sweet nose of ripe black …

Nose with raisins, strong oak notes, oak spices, vanilla, cherries, chocolate & some more raisins. On the palate herbs, oak spices, vanilla, raisins & sweet cherries. Simple and completely over oaked.

Léger, pas d'Astringence, peu d'acidité. Excellent en apéro ou avec une volaille ou repas aux saveurs plus discrètes.

Dark young color. Nose is round, warm, oaky, a hint of barnyard. Palate has depth, spices, power and a long aftertaste with some unbalanced tannins. 50+5+11+14+7 (87p)

Had this with a pizza. PnP through a Vinturi. First sip was a little hot so I let the glass sit for a bit. Way too much oak in this right now. I will probably buy a couple to lay down and see if that oak integrates a little bit over time.

Wellmade, but sweet and short, with little structure.
