Whelan's from Ed K, great value, 2023 drinking well, a bit of tart, but great structure, very pleasing on the nose, cracking wine/experience so happy to have expanded beyond French classics which are and still consistent and benchmark for my palatte — 10 days ago

By far my favorite Valpolicella. See previous reviews. The downside is it used to be affordable easy. Now it’s close to $60 a btl.
Earth, smoke, forest,Black tea,tarry yet light ( ish). As far as i remember, made from leased vines 500 M above lake Garda.At least the first vintage. Aged in 2nd pass Amarone Botti.All in all, a highly idiosyncratic winemaker with some hits across the board and a meh here and there. I return to this particular wine however to fill my Valpolicella jones.
