Ruby red colour. Cherries, blueberries, liquorice and spices in the nose. Taste of red cherries with hints of liquorice and spices. A good value Valpolicella that goes well with light meat.

Medium bodied Amarone. Raspberry and dark fruit. Needed 90 minutes to open up. I liked it, but it didn’t blow me away.

Full-bodied, ripe raspberry and plum, tobacco, the 15% alcohol is apparent on the finish. Nice expression of Amarone but not life-changing.

This was my first Amarone since having become a wine enthusiast, so I have no basis of comparison...but after reading about Amarones and the reviews for this one, I was underwhelmed and disappointed. It was lighter bodied than I expected and more acidic. The palate was decent, of fig and candied plum, followed by mocha coffee. Medium finish. I think I would have enjoyed this more if it was $10 cheaper.

I came to this wine completely new to Amarone, but I had heard about it in a wine lecture from The Great Courses and thought I would give it a try. Interestingly these wines are completely dried on bamboo racks in order to concentrate their sugars and flavors before pressing them and making the wine. The result is a high alcohol content wine (15% ABV) that is rich in color and flavor. A very dark, opaque ruby color, it LOOKS …

Medium range ripasso. Consentrated and quite elegant, but lacks some complexity and lenght. Easy drinking.

Klassisk ripasso. Balansert og fin fylde. Hint av lær og tobakk. Litt søtlig anslag.

Nose: strong wood nose, smoke, cigar. Really feels like in a room of smokers. dark cherry, new leather. Taste: fig, plum, raisin, dates. Smooth and margarine like. Juicy and thin bodied. Medium body wine that's is fruit driven. Very easy drinking. Mild tannin and mild oak. Taste like coffee with cream. Simple and tasty. Lacks depth and feels a bit light and hallow.
