“Beautifully balanced, this opens with alluring scents of wild berry, rose, baking spice and whiffs of chopped herb. Seamlessly combining ripe fruit and the firm's trademark finesse, the bright elegantly structured palate delivers juicy wild cherry, crushed raspberry, white pepper and a hint of black tea framed in polished tannins and fresh acidity. It's already tempting but the best is yet to come.”

"...Rich, dense and balanced, with nicely focused flavors of dark berries and aromatic herbs that have a noteworthy savory tang. The long finish features repeating hints of soy sauce, espresso and underbrush. Dal Forno's is the recognized master of a uniquely powerful, ripe, and concentrated style of Amarone."

"Rich and suave, with cherry and black currant fruit swathed in an inviting layer of spicy oak. A little shy now, but another year or two should coax all the nuances out. The fine length shows this wine's ultimate potential..."

"A smoky, vanilla- and toast-inflected version, this red has a core of cherry. A mineral accent chimes in as this plays out. Will need some time to absorb the oak. Fine length..."

"Starts out with earthy, animal aromas, but cherry and blackberry fruit emerges with air. Smoky, spicy and stony, with a firm, chalky feel on the finish. Though a bit gruff now, this has potential..." 

"A racy thoroughbred, this red evokes pure cherry, raspberry, tobacco, iron and spice aromas and flavors, allied to a firm, tensile structure that drives the long, saturated fruit and spice aftertaste. Needs time, but all the elements are there."

"This rich Champagne is soft and creamy, with orange zest, ground anise and light, tangy acidity enlivening the glazed apricot and pastry crust flavors. Offers a bright, expressive finish."

"A racy style, this white is sleek and intense, with acacia and lime blossom notes leading the way for lemon, peach, spice and mineral flavors. Harmonious and long, with a mouthwatering finish. Delicious now, but should be better in a year."

"This is lightly sweet and zesty, with mouthwatering acidity and flavors of melon gelée, ground cardamom and candied pink grapefruit peel. Ample minerality shows on the finish."

"This is like fine silk on the palate, impeccably balanced, with a finely woven panoply of melon pâte de fruit, exotic cardamom, cumin, passion fruit coulis, toasted almond and crushed pine needle notes. Long and creamy on the mouthwatering finish."

"Made of 60% Trebbiano and 40% Malvasia, this opens with acacia honey, ripe Annurca apple and hazelnut aromas that carry over to the vanilla-inflected palate. Don’t dip your cookies in this one; it’s more of a vino da meditazione."

"This blend of 40% Malbec, 30% Merlot and 30% Cabernet Sauvignon opens with ripe blackberry, underbrush and cedar aromas. Concentrated and juicy, the palate doles out black currant, bilberry, mint and licorice flavors, framed by chewy tannins..."

"All the rich and aromatic flavors of ripe peaches unite in this fruity wine. The fruit sweetness is balanced by zesty freshness. Together, they create a lip-smackingly sweet and intense flavor experience. This is full-on and medium-sweet with a clean finish."

“Made entirely from Cabernet Franc, this offers blueberry, cedar and bell pepper aromas. The palate is juicy, full of red currant, vanilla and Mediterranean herb flavors, held firm with polished tannins and a tart finish. Drink through 2022.”

“Underbrush, ripe berry, new leather and Mediterranean herb aromas slowly take shape in the glass. Showing youthful tension, the vibrant palate delivers red cherry, pomegranate, white pepper and pipe tobacco notes framed by bright acidity and taut, refined tannins. It already shows great balance and finesse but is still young and tight.”

"This shows fabulous stone, dried apple and honey aromas that follow through to a full body, with fantastic focus and energy. Great acidity at the finish. Wow. The depth and length are incredible."

"A fresh and clean wine with lovely linear structure that gives the wine energy and power. Medium body, lovely cream and flan and hints of stone. Love the subtlety and length."

"Intense and smoky. Very dense and juicy. So captivating immediately."

"Lively and tight, creamy. Really fine. Lots of grip."
