A decent wine with lots of power and grip. One can easily recognize the venetian "Appassimento" style of making wine by partially drying out the grapes before fermentation. . For me, this wine lacks the elegance and multi-dimensionality some Amarone or even Valpolicella superiore can show.

Drinking very well right now......might be better than a 92. I like the spectrum of flavors in this one...….they differ from a California Cab, but I struggle to describe that more specifically.

VinItaly Day 3 (Verona, Italy): 30% dried 1 month; crimson rose, light rim, some clarity; red currant, green pepper, elegant, some polish; tangy currant on palate, cherry, almost raspberry, very Italian, slight sweetness, some rose, dried fruit, fine tannin; very tasty.

Meilleur Cabernet à date. Simplement parfait. Tellement incroyable avec des asperges, le gout d'asperges sort et gout de poivre. Karen va aimer aussi
