(Marion Valpolicella) #1; COLOR-dark; NOSE-this is Funky; auto body shop meets top soil; just smells really funky and dirty, but interesting; PALATE-this wine tastes exactly like really high end chocolate covered cherries; like the finest chocolate covered cherry liqueur in the world; it is DYNAMITE on the palate; has an enormously delicious sensibility while having an amazing mid-palate and beautiful transition to a very silky smooth finish; you can almost chew this wine; almost dessert like, but still has that bone dry red wine sensibility; this is really intriguing; the age of this wine has really worked for this wine; Mott says, "It has the Delicious factor with a capital 'D'"; you should definitely seek this out; beautiful; beautiful fruit, but still has enough of a backbone with acidic minerality and tannins structure as well; very balanced ; AG-89; GV-91+

Monthly Tuesday group "The Dead Sparrow" #045: Amarone (@ The factory by JdB): Coffee and celery in the very mature and oxidized bouquet. On the palate the same impressions, tea, chocolate, sweet soy. The wine is still drinkable and juicy, but too old now. No score.

There's a bit of "corked" like flavors, and I'm worried about the remaining bottles.
It was still good however - good balance and chocolate flavors.
