Giuseppe Quintarelli - Amarone della Valpolicella Classico DOCG - 2018

The 2018 Amarone della Valpolicella Classico slowly evolves with a whimsical mix of dusty dried violets, cedar box, cardamom, stone dust and dried black cherries. It displays textures of pure silk, lifted and feminine in nature, as bright red berry fruits  wash across the palate, leaving a tactile  staining of minerals and sweet tannins. The  2018 shows incredible length and poise,  leaving blue and purple inner florals over  notes of licorice and clove through the lightly  structured and completely harmonious finale.  Bury this radiant beauty deep in the cellar. 97 Points Eric Guido, Vinous.com
