* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
This is a lovely Amarone that offers seemingly limitless intensity and personality. The wine is richly redolent of red cherry, chocolate, spice and tobacco. It tastes sweet and plush and delivers a very smooth and supple texture. Very nice.

Intense, with aromas of kirsch, smoked meat and oiled leather. The palate features lavish oak, but there’s plenty of cherry and red plum fruit to stand up to it. And after all that force the finish is smooth and supple.

By nature, recioto (sweet) wines sometimes carry some sharp vinegar aromas, but after that it’s all about sweetness. This fine example fits that model to a T. The nose is grapy and full of bitter chocolate. The palate, meanwhile, is rich and pruney, with chocolate and blackberry jam notes. The finish is long and layered.

Thick and densely extracted, this ripasso has a beautifully tonic and fresh personality with persuasive aromas of dried fruit, black cherry, dark chocolate and spice. In the mouth, it offers fruit and crisp flavors backed by smooth tannins and good structure.

This ripasso by Cesari presents a solid wall of black fruit, prune, plum and blackberry on the nose. The wine is dense and luscious with thick layers of ripe fruit and spice. Pair it with barbecued pork ribs.

This is a lovely Ripasso with a bright, modern personality and intense aromas of oak spice, red cherry, blackberry, mesquite and cola. There’s complexity and intrigue here and the wine could use another two or three years of bottle aging. Alternatively, it’s delicious to drink now.

Big intensity and power is delivered from this brawny Amarone that imparts distinctive, yet not overwhelmingly intense, aromas of black cherry, plum, resin, tar, pine and black pepper. The wine boasts good freshness, consistency and length on the finish.

A bouquet dominated by banana with some spicy vanilla notes and more banana in the mouth. Has more persistence than most Grigios, with a lean, spicy finish. Imported by Opici Import Company.

Bosan is a sweet-smelling Amarone with vibrant aromas of blueberry and cherry followed by delicate floral nuances. The wine is direct and immediate with background aromas of red apple, vanilla and oak. It’s exceedingly smooth and ends with sweet fruit and soft tannins. An outstanding wine.

No doubt: this is a seductive, modern wine with opulent oak shadings that translate into chocolate fudge, spice and crème brûlée. Beyond the big oak tones are cherry fruit and Indian spice and the wine renders a very soft and round impression in the mouth.
