Amarone della Valpolicella DOCG – 2008 – 95 points – The Wine Advocate
95 points
“…opens with immense darkness and the kind of midnight impenetrability you never see on any color wheel for fine wine. Its off the charts appearance is followed by similarly unique aromatic intensity and versatility that spans from blackberry syrup and candied prune to chewing tobacco, black peppercorn and rain-soaked asphalt. … Ultimately, this wine promises a graceful, steady and long evolution.”
