Dal Forno Romano Monte Lodoletta Amarone della Valpolicella 2013

Tasting Notes

A decadent nose of treacle tart, chocolate, tar, tons of black fruit such as blackberries and mulberries and even ash and licorice. A dense, layered mouthfeel makes for a full-bodied palate that's explosive yet somehow so refined and pretty all at the same time. The finish goes on and on. Incredible now, but better to wait for this giant to settle well into 2020. Score - 97. (jamessuckling.com, Oct. 20, 2017)
