Amarone della Valpolicella

Full

Cork

Cola, perfumed raspberries, Maraschino cherries, mace and jasmine on the nose. Clean, clear and striking, this hits straight away on the palate, scintillating and spiced but impressively constructed and wide on the palate. Not at all heavy, this is lean almost in terms of the texture but the flavour permeates the whole mouth, clean and precise, pure and fragrant. Wonderfully sleek and focussed, belying it's 15% alcohol. Still quite tannic and firm, but it really works and this has a nice presence and persistence from start to finish sustaining the final flavour with cherry, strawberry and florality. I like this alot - calm, controlled and well worked. A blend of 70% Corvina and Corvinone, 20% Rondinella, 5% Croatina and 5% Oseleta. Ageing two years in 500l French oak casks.
