"Firm, sturdy tannins frame blackberries, blueberries, violets and new leather in the 2005 Valpolicella...The wine’s gorgeous inner perfume and sheer depth suggest that all that is required is patience. With time in the glass the tannins soften just enough to get a glimpse of what is in store for those who can wait a few years. Bittersweet chocolate, graphite and tar are layered into the authoritative finish." Wine Advocate #193, Feb 2011 |
