Really perplexed by this. Reduction, slate, gunpowder and smoke, savoury and resinous. None of the white peach or dusted cocoa that the box-insert described. Definitely very energetic, pretty long, but that reduction on the nose had me checking and re-checking that it wasn't corked (somm thought it fine).
Italy, Veneto, Valpolicella, Amarone della Valpolicella
Made by a female winemaker who cuts her vineyards by hand, at night at specific phases of the lunar calendar. She also plays music to her vines. Dense and sweet, sweetness enhanced by the Ornellaia 2007 which preceeded it. Rasins. Well balanced and restrained. VG with blue cheese.
