The 2005 Amarone della Valpolicella is a wine of contrasts. There is plenty of intensity and depth to the fruit, yet at the same time some rough edges detract from the overall balance. Licorice, black cherries, leather and tobacco inform the slightly volatile finish. With a little more polish this could be a significantly better wine. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2020.-AG

Notes of black cherry, damson plum preserves and violet are underscored by iron and mineral flavors. The tannins are lightly chewy, balanced for just enough grip, ending with hints of chocolate and loam. Drink now through 2017. 500 cases imported.–AN
