2003 L'Arco Valpolicella Classico SuperioreCorvina Blend, Corvina more |
9/28/2009 - ttriche wrote: 91 pointsThis was a very tasty bottle of wine with plummy, berry, but acidic palate impression. For a wine that apparently has a good dose of amarone in it, it was anything but heavy. However, the wine stood up nicely to a flank steak and grilled vegetables (I think asparagus was also involved) and stomped all over a bottle of petit verdot / zin / cab that looked interesting but... wasn't. Evolved over the course of a long meal and became progressively more interesting. Exceptional wine for drinking with a meal and good company. I have another bottle on the way and I wish I'd bought more than that. |

10/6/2009 - ttriche wrote: 84 pointsCan't quite say for sure, but the bottle might have gone off. Either that or there was a little more oxidation than the last time I tried it. Smelled good -- cherry, spice, oak, funk, a little smoke. Unfortunately there is something in the bottle that I just don't care for, something that wasn't there before. Oh well. |

8/14/2009 - ttriche wrote: 87 pointsNice and full, but kind of disjointed, the various flavors and scents not really coming together as a whole. Clearly not on the same level as a classically settled Bordeaux but not bad either. |

2005 Foradori Teroldego Rotalianomore |
5/15/2009 - ttriche wrote: 84 pointsKind of harsh, actually. A little acidic and green tasting, not too much in the aroma department either. Not bad, but not a variety that I will track down to seek more. |

3/1/2009 - ttriche wrote: 80 pointsVery acidic, may have gone off? None of the aromatics from the previous Nino Negri which I so enjoyed, a 2002 Inferno. Overall a challenging wine, yet at the end of the meal, the bottle was empty. |

12/8/2008 - ttriche wrote: 87 pointsIt's OK. I'm afraid my wife and I liked the Pine Ridge Viognier/Chenin Blanc a lot better, perhaps we drank this one too cold or perhaps it's just not to our taste. It's well made and aromatic, but nothing like the Viognier blend. |
