Valpolicella, Verona, Veneto, Italy
A wonderful deep ruby red Amarone with pronounced aromatics and typicity. Complexity in the glass in aromatics and on the palate. Showing dark chocolate, ripe plum, dried dates, ripe cherry, and fresh cedar plank. Tasted decanted after 3 h. Full bodied, well balanced medium tannins, medium acidity, medium plus fruit. Pair with BBQ chicken, braised ribs, beef tacos or on its own. I have a deep appreciation for appasimento style wines and this is a fine example. @jonsteeves rated 91/100 - tasted June 2016
