Friday, November 10, 2017 - 2017 Villa d’Este Wine Symposium - Kelly and Kevin's excellent adventure; 11/9/2017-11/14/2017 (Villa D’este, Lake Como and Milan): As some of you may recall, Dal Forno wines were highly sought-after in the early 90s and this was the wine to chase. At youth, I was amazed by the balance despite 17% ABV. A quarter century later, it hasn’t budged much. Intense nose displaying chocolate dipped cherry, dry fig, wet tobacco, molasses, baking spices and dark caramel. Incredible concentration, layers upon layers of black fruit, unctuous yet pure and precise, silky and polished, strong acidity and the finish that resonates with tobacco and dry fig. This is a unique monumental wine. I am sensitive to alcohol but this shows none. Amazing experience as usual. Once again, not for everyone.
