Community Tasting Notes (average 90.5 pts. and median of 90 pts. in 2 notes) | |
| Tasted by andrewstevenson.com on 2/22/2010 & rated 88 points: A very attractive, remarkably fresh nose with fairly subtle sweet, raisined black fruit. There's good restraint on the palate which rather allows some very spicy tannins to dominate. (99 views) | |
| Tasted by eliotfagley on 7/18/2009 & rated 93 points: This was the 3rd wine of the night, but it help up its end of the bargain as a standout. On the nose, it was heavy in honeyed tobacco, dates, and figs (Honeyed tobacco? Yes, it smelled like Red Man soaked in honey. We used to do it on our High School baseball team.). The mouthfeel was middling. The attack was full of more figs and honey, but now the fruit had its chance to stand out. This wine comes strong with a plum, fig, and date flavor and aroma. The flavors keep crashing over the palate, one at a time, for a very long time. Some residual sugar lends deliciousness, but there is neither the raisined or sherried flavors that turn me off about lesser Amarones. This is a well-executed wine that makes me wonder why I don't drink more Amarone. Again recommended by Jeff Stettner of 33 Wine Bar in Saint Louis (@33wine). (441 views) |
