Odd. Didn't care for it until it was paired with red sauce and pasta. Went well. Had another glass the next day without food, and flat. Enjoy with food.

Spice on the nose but then soft fruit on the palate. Maybe could be fuller but here it is.

Typically a good QPR, red fruits, tar, cedar, mushroom, a little tiny bit of green on the nose, nicely acidic without being over the top, solid with lasagna, pizza, red sauce...medium bodied, easy drinking.

Valentine dinner, food from Broder's. Pretty crimson/purples, lighten at the rim. Enticing nose, blueberry, black cherry, perhaps some clove. Dry, smooth, balanced, medium weight, some nice acid in the background. Good length. We enjoyed this wine.

Vaalean punainen. Yrttinen ja raikkaan hedelmäinen tuoksu. Tummaa kirsikkaa, vadelmaa ja hieman parkkiintunutta nahkaa. Hapokas ja mehukas suutuntuma. Keskitanniininen ja todella tasapainoinen. Tältä valpolicellan kuuluu maistua. Tortillojen kanssa nappisuoritus.

A fine, fruiit forward Valpolicella of medium body. Very agreeable and an excellent example of its type.

Fífa og Atli komu með þessa í matarboð. Drukkin með andalærum. Pottþétt með því. Mjög gott matarvín.

The high acidity stood out a little too much in this wine with otherwise compelling bright cherry fruit. With food the wine improved but I would say it may be on the decline.
