Veneto, ItalyDried cherry, worn leather, dried figs and dust - those are the notes that green upon first sniff of this Amarone Della Valpoicella Classico. The ripe, burnt sugar sweetness picks up on the dense palate, where charred marshmallow, Christmas cake and cracked cloves enter in, as do whiffs of VA. Tannins are ripe, round and sticky, and acidity is moderate enough to draw the density to the bitter espresso, bitter chocolate finish. A distinct style, corvina, rondinella and molinara grapes are dried for four months prior to pressing, and the fermented, raisinated juice is aged for three years in Slavonian oak barrels. Pour now with dried fruit sauced hearty meat dishes.Tasted: 13 February 2016Tasted by: Prices:

Veneto, ItalyRich, cherry jam, plum, smoky, raisin nose with pepper, meaty, balsamic, almond, barnyard, sweaty saddle and tobacco aromas. Round, full, elegant, slightly tannic, slightly sweet palate with fresh acidity. Warm with coffee, pepper, tobacco leaf, plum jam, earthy, resin, leather, meaty, balsamic, prune and mocha flavours. Still young, needs some years yet to reduce the tea tannins and further integrate the tannins and fruit. Big and boisterous only lamb will take it down at this point or mature hard cheese.Tasted: 12 May 2015Tasted by: Prices:
