Amarone della Valpolicella Corvina Blend
Valpolicella, Verona, Veneto, Italy
One of my personal favorites. Rich notes of dark chocolate, black coffee, and currant. The 2008 is perfect right around this time.

Jul 1st, 2016A foray into the DDOC, I'm finding, is always a good idea. The color is a deep, velvety garnet, evoking my younger days at university. This one is a red blend with strong (and I mean STRONG) notes of blackberry, currant, and blueberry on the palette. Dark chocolate and bold spice make for a finish that lasts all night long.

Nov 7th, 2015Nice. The price was $110 so not a huge mark-up. Let it breath and it opens up.

Deep ruby. The one I tried is a bit corked. But still fruity of red cherries and plums. Dried sweet date and figs, smoky and leathery. Medium tannin, very suave , medium acidity, quite balanced with good flavor intensity. Date and fig are pronounced in mouth and finish, a bit bitter but pleasant. Medium + finish. 87 points. Drink now or cellar it for another 2-3 years.
