Quintarelli Giuseppe Amarone della Valpolicella

Vintage: 2000
Description: "The 2000 Amarone della Valpolicella Classico is a thing of beauty. This mid-weight, delicate red offers up a gorgeous array of crushed flowers, red berries and sweet spices in an ethereal style. As it sits in the glass the wine acquires concentration and richness. The wine possesses the grace of a ballerina, phenomenal balance and impeccable pedigree. In this vintage the Amarone shows suggestions of slightly newer barrels, and that may be why this is the first non-Riserva Amarone I can recall in at least a few years that doesnt show the excess volatile acidity that has marred some previous wines. To be sure, this is a super-traditional, cask-aged Amarone, and it may not appeal to all palates, but readers in search of fine old-school Amarone wont find a better wine among this years new releases. In time this score may very well go up.quite a bit. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2020." - Antonio Galloni, eRobertParker.com #185 (Oct 30, 2009)
