Lots of ripe blueberries and dried flowers with hints of raisins on the nose. Full-bodied, rich and intense, yet fresh and vivid. Drink or hold.

A fresh and elegant Amarone, trimmed by sleek, integrated tannins and displaying a lovely range of crushed black cherry and ripe damson plum fruit with accents of red licorice, tea leaf and ground white pepper. Though medium- to full-bodied and focused, this wears its weight well, harmonious through to the lingering, minerally finish of iron and smoke. Drink now through 2030. (AN)

The 2017 Amarone della Valpolicella Classico Cinque Stelle shows rich plum sauce and crushed blackberries complemented by notes of clove, brown sugar and tobacco. The textures are velvety with contrasting tart black fruits, balsamic spices and pepper-laced dark chocolate. This coats the palate with a penetrating layer of liquid violet florals over saturating minerals and hints of fine tannin. I admit to finding the 2017 Cinque Stelle quite pleasurable today, but it lacks the balance to perform well over the long term. (EG)
