Amarone della Valpolicella Corvina Blend

Trader Joe's, $20

Dark strong ruby color. Mellow ripe fruit with a slightly sweet licorice-like spice on the nose, very little astringency. Fairly typical appassimento type flavor, rich dried/jammy fruit, starts sweet then finishes with a bit of dry tannins. Has a slight savory sweetness beyond the fruit akin to vanilla or licorice. Quite enjoyable, worth the couple dollars over my usual budget.

Nice drinkable Trader Joe's bottle. No complaints and stayed pretty well through different meals.

Medium ruby in color; hibiscus, dried herbs, and graphite on the nose; medium acidity; medium tannins; tastes like cherries, pomegranates, eucalyptus, and a hint of cinnamon with a long finish. Nellie says it's ok, but I really like it.

2018 vintage was quite nice.

Has notes of blackberry and vanilla. Extremely okay and leaves a smoky aftertaste.

aromas of red fruit, oak, and vanilla. very oaky taste. light tannins bold colour

Dark, full-bodied. Smelled like blackberry and cranberry. Tasted notes dark fruit and light pepper, followed by vanilla. Mild tannins. A delightful choice for a wine at this price point. Purchased at Trader Joe's.

Very delicious amarone, rich in smell, taste is dry and sweet at the same time. Pairs well with meta, cheese and goes by itself. Very good deal for the price

Very pleasant Amarone. Soft, supple with enough acidity to keep it real. Good value.
