Community Tasting Note

  July 17, 2007 - OK, for $15 at Trader Joe's, I didn't REALLY expect this to perform like a real Amarone. However, I did hope it would bear at least a passing resemblance to a drinkable Ripasso. What I ended up getting was almost undrinkable. Not sure how a winemaker could cause Corvina to taste like a bad, cheap Cabernet. Stil trying to scrape the tannins off my tongue and to pick the oak splinters out of my teeth.
  
  If you are tempted to buy this, do yourself a favor and buy a decent, cheap Ripasso instead -- Masi, Cesari, Tedeschi, etc.
