Amarone della Valpolicella Corvina Blend 2011
Big Amarone (16%) bursting with blackberry jam, blueberry compote, amarena cherry, with fragrant violets on the nose. A touch of damp earth with forest mushrooms, nutmeg, marjoram. Seemingly endless finish, very nice acidity. For Amarone lovers, this is a gem. — 9 years ago
Yes, I remember commenting that the berry fruit was a dead ringer for marion berry. Nice wine with a lingering finish.

Quintarelli was a master, and this was one of his last creations -- a Cab Franc done in an Amarone style. This is a treat -- Violets, blue fruit, cooked blackberry jam, stewed figs, overripe Concord grapes on a hot summer day, damp earth. Acidity is medium, and tannins are still quite assertive. Delicious. Thanks to Master Somm Alan Murray for sharing this grand wine. — 9 years ago
