A private dinner (Wine House Somm, Amsterdam, NL): A blend of 60% Corvina and 35% other varieties, including Rondinella and Corvinone. Aged for 30 months in 500 / 2500 liter oak barrels. Not enthusiastic about this. It feels dry and tough and lacks fruit and charm. It’s a if the extended oak ageing sucked the life out of this wine. I sympathise with Boirebio’s note below.

13/20 grande déception pour ce Pieropan. Vraiment pas à la hauteur des attentes pour un Valpolicella. Ça goûte la vielle barrique usée. Non.....

Well balanced with good concentration of fruit but maybe lacking a bit of the complexity and weight. A little linear. 89-91
