Very dense and black in colour. These wines always remind me of Fruit and Nut milk chocolate. The colour makes you think full bodied but it’s actually light to medium bodied. A luscious mouth filling palate with the savoury milk chocolate together with notes of raisin and date. Supple yet persistent tannins. Reminiscent of a Priorat Garnacha in some respects. — 16 days ago

Fantastico vino de Guadiana, enraizado en campos encumbrados desde el gran asentamiento romano, en Alange, precioso lugar camino de Emerita Augusta. Cuna de mis antepasados. Buen caldo, apropiado para carnes, queso que marida de manera fanstastica. Una gran joya de mi amigo Tomas. — a year ago

Beautifully aged in 2024 but still retaining its vibrancy minerality with melding of stone fruit citrus almond burnished with hint of smoke and sea flavors with great complexity and long finish it went well with lemon garlic, barbecued shrimp, grilled squash, and corn on the cob — 3 months ago

The 2010 Amarone della Valpolicella is an elegant beauty, with cooling herbal tones and cloves embellishing baked cherries and hints of incense. This opens with a lovely inner sweetness, its ripe red and black fruits energized by vibrant acidity. Violet florals and suggestions of cocoa swirl throughout. The 2010 finishes long—still slightly tannic yet coming into its own, leaving a mentholated freshness and a tinge of cinnamon spice that lingers on. While this is made in the older style of Dal Forno, sporting just over six grams-per-liter of residual sugar, 17% alcohol and 100% American oak, the balance is absolutely perfect.

It is easy to expect an erupting volcano in one’s mouth when you see the name Dal Forno. Yes, this was a powerful wine but thanks to sufficient acid and time in the decanter the weight and intensity of the fruit was held in check. A wonderful accompaniment to the Peking Duck.. — 6 months ago

Strong wine that comes at you with a burst of fresh minerality and firm tannins but opens up in your mouth and reveals nice layers of dark fruit on the finish. Reminded me of the Sagrantino wines we had in Umbria but with less body. — 2 years ago
