Cesari
Classico Amarone della Valpolicella Corvina Blend
Valpolicella, Verona, Veneto, Italy
Depth for days.. Rich, elegant layers. Plums, dried thyme and touch of wet earth. Dense in body, but flows effortlessly across the palate. Excellent extraction, drinking incredible now. Blows a lot of big name California reds out the water at same price point

Classic style Amarone. Deep, warming, rounded, and drinking fantastic now. Velvet mouthfeel, with deeply concentrated dark fruits, dried herbs, and an off the charts level of extraction.

Surprisingly light in color and profile. Muted. Left in decanter for 3 days and not much change. Maybe off bottle? Disappointing.

Dark ruby red color in the glass. Notes of stewed fruit, dark chocolate covered cherries and spice on the nose. Palate dominated by black pepper, blackberry and spice. Firm, grippy tannins and nice acid make for a lingering finish. Drink now, or hold for a fun treat in a few years. #IAMarone #ad

Raisin and dried cherry aromas with vanilla, earth and baking spice accents. Same dried fruit flavors with hints of cloves, licorice and tobacco. Minerals and dried herbs on the long chewy finish. Lacking some boldness and a little tight, but still solid.

May 29th, 2018Really enjoyed this, but I didn’t get the same depth as other reviewers. Don’t get me wrong, I could drink this all day. Takes an hour or so to open up, I found.
