2004 Stefano Accordini Amarone della Valpolicella Classico Vigneto Il Fornetto

Corvina Blend, Corvina more

12/24/2023 - docvin1107 wrote: 90 points

I've had this bottle in my cellar for approx 15 years. Slow oxidation in bottle for 2 hours. Brownish color. Very mature dusty flavors of dried fruits - rasins, figs, sour cherries, and prunes. Hints of oak, black tea and dark chocolate. Some pleasant bitterness, but the alcohol quite present and a little too "hot" on the aftertaste and missing some freshness IMHO. All in all - a fully matured and lovely Amarone true to the style - but not my style anymore. 90+

Bought at the estate around 10 years ago. I was honored to experience a tasting with Domenico just month before he sadly died.
Enjoyed with family at my wife's 50th birthday dinner party. Brownish light red color. Lovely mature classic flavours of cherries, cranberries, lavender, black tea, asian spice and vanilla/oak. The tannins were present although well integrated. Medium acidity. Overall, a beautifully matured barolo from a great winemaker, thanks - RIP.

Pnp and comsumed over 3 hours! Red-brownish color. Lovely nose of sour cherries and plum. Some cedar, lilac and herbal notes as well.
Soft mouthfeel, cherry, pulm, well integrated oak and tannins. Medium+ acidity. Unfortunately, a bit watery on the finish!
Overall, an enjoyable mature glas of burgundy. Still reasonable fruit but I think it’s past it’s prime and on the downslope. It’s time to drink up! 91p

11/6/2016 - docvin1107 Likes this wine: 90 points

Clearly modern style. Dark fruits, some dusty flavours, spice/anise, and a lot of oak/cigar box/vanilla. Nevertheless, a well made wine in its own style with good structure, decent balance and medium length. The mature fruit flavors actually carries the rather heavy use of oak quite well. Paired nicely with slow cocked Osso Buco and risotto. 89-90p

PnP. Quite primary. Fresh flavors of apples, minerality, white flowers and peach. A little yeast/bread in the background. Fine bubbles and lovely balanced acidity. Still a teenager but with great expectations for a promising adulthood. For now 92-93P - potentially 93-95P

No formal notes. 4 hour decant. Big wine, blackberries and cassis, cedar/oak and well integrated tannins. Drinking well with a few hours of air but still potential to develop further complexity.

My first DP. Fine tiny bubbles and despite the vintage very elegant and very linear. Mix of elderflower and other white flowers, green apples, citrus. had expected bit more "umf" and a longer finish - but maybe I drank this too early?!

Still very primary and closed down. Slowly opened up after 1-2 hours when the bottle was almost finish. Will let the rest of my bottles rest for another 2-3 years and give a good decant!
