Punta di Villa Amarone della Valpolicella Classico Corvina Blend

Rich and highly expressive notes of blackberry jam, tobacco, leather and cocoa nib with a very long finish.

Melted mint savory and strawberries. Full juicy sorbet. Yummy and maybe a hit sweet. Caressing texture to finish. $60

Tommy had this 11 years ago

Not a huge fan of the style, but this was executed well. “Port lite.” Paired very well with roasted pork.

Rusty red, heavy bodied with notes of blackcurrant, leather, tobacco and cedar. Moderate tannins but so balanced.

Smell is soy/hoisin, sorrel, tarragon, ok its kind of like tuna sushimi - I’m loving the smell, blood red and dark, the taste feels salty and sweet at first, with some prunes but raspberry, leather, burlap, bourbon-y, syrupy but the ending is like meaty warm raspberry with and acidic and very tannic finish that’s balanced

Coffee, mocha, green herbaceousness, cassis, macerated blackberry, prune.

Just a bit of RS. Big alcohol. 16%

Pronounced perfume of menthol, red fruit and flowers. Luscious but balanced palate of golden raisin, sweet bkackberry, bkack raspberry, mint and chalk. The freshness of the sweet fruit lingers through a remarkabky long finish.

Love this Amarone 2011 with the Italian fare

Someone is still doing it right!
