Amarone della Valpolicella, Dal Forno Romano, Veneto, IT, 2018

Wine Spectator

Fragrant and enticing, exuding ripe fruit, incense and India ink aromas. This is tightly meshed and focused, with a muscular core of tannins enmeshed in flavors of pureed mulberry and boysenberry fruit, violet, herbed black olive and fig paste. This shows real depth of flavor and length but also bright freshness and animation. Spice, graphite and tar-tinged mineral notes lace the long finish. Corvina, Rondinella, Oseleta and Croatina. Drink now through 2043. 1,350 cases made, 400 cases imported.
