Quintarelli’s 1997 Amarone is seductive from the first aromas that float from the glass. It offers a myriad of dried cherries, plums, tea leaves, earthiness, spices, smoke and herbs in a deceptively medium-bodied style bursting with flavor. Constantly changing in the glass, this is a sensual wine of contrasts; it is sweet yet dry, rustic yet incredibly elegant, all at the same time. (AG)

Deep ruby with a hint of garnet at the rim. Highly complex aromas of raspberry, red cherries macerated in alcohol, violet, balsamic vinegar, rose, and milk and bitter chocolate. Amazingly rich, superconcentrated wine, with flavors of chocolate-covered raspberry, cherries macerated in alcohol and fig jam. Refreshing acidity and very silky tannins make this an elegant blockbuster, a feat only the greatest wines manage to achieve. (ID)

A wonderful Amarone that offers a complex array of aromas and flavors, including dried cherry, cola, minerals, dried flowers and herbs and light caramel. Full-bodied and full-flavored palate, with integrated tannins and a long finish. Loads of dried fruits. Perfect now. Quintarelli always delivers.
