Valpolicella Superiore 2017

The 2017 Amarone della Valpolicella dazzles with a remarkably fresh and perfumed bouquet, as spiced citrus rinds and dusty cherries are complemented by violet and lavender nuances. This is total elegance on the palate, seamlessly silky and enveloping, with a core of mineral-tinged acidity that helps to invigorate its depths of dark red fruit and exotic spice. The 2017 lingers on with a primary saturation and coating of sweet tannins as blood orange traces resonate under an air of purple-toned inner florals. 95 points, Eric Guido - Vinous
