Amarone della Valpolicella DOCG – 2009 – 97 points – The Wine Advocate
97 points
“I’m not sure how anyone can resist a wine like the 2009 Amarone della Valpolicellla Monte Lodoletta. It would be impossible to exaggerate the enormity of this wine. … can not doubt the sheer quality of winemaking that goes behind this monumental wine. Dal Forno’s Amarone is a message of optimism that speaks to the infinite possibilities that can be achieved with a simple fruit like the grape. The decadent and layered bouquet offers slow pulses of black fruit, tar, teriyaki, mesquite and prune. The wine wraps like a thick blanket over the palate. This beautiful bottle should be aged ten more years.”
