Winery - Villa Spinosa
* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
The emphasis here is on elegance, not power or intensity. The wine offers carefully measured notes of apple-nut, cherry, vanilla, mineral, dried lavender and no clear aromatic protagonist. The wine’s age is discernable in the mouth and this suggests that you should not wait to drink it.

This wine exhibits fine spice and nicely measured notes of cinnamon, cumin, leather, espresso and dried prune. Its aromas are those you’d expect from a Turkish bazaar. There’s a slightly brown hue to its color but overall it is thick and concentrated with sweet, sticky flavors and noticeable succulence.

This 2001 vintage Amarone shows elegant signs of age with aromas of old spice, dried fruit, dried porcini mushroom and pressed rose petal. It’s a bit tired and flat in the mouth at this point, so if you have a bottle drink it soon.
