Amarone della Valpolicella Classico Cinque Stelle Michele Castellani 2020

Tasting Notes

A little reticent on the nose for the moment, but immediately expansive on the palate, showing dried red berries and flowers, together with toasted Indian spice and a light toffee note. Full-bodied with a compact palate of fruit and spice that envelops the fine-grained tannins, turning more and more savory as the long finish progresses. This is tightly packed and needs a bit of time to unravel and show the full extent of its complexity. It's tempting to drink now, but better to wait a couple of years. (jamessuckling.com,12 mars 2023)
