97 JS "This is amazing. The wine is so focused and racy with refined and long tannins. It goes on for minutes. A superb wine. Still needs years, yet so wonderful. So complex with layers of chocolate, berries and spices." 95 RP "The spectacular, opaque purple-colored 1997 Amarone is from an exceptional vintage for this appellation. It possesses a gorgeous bouquet of graphite, blackberries, plums, cherries, and truffles . . . . It is full-bodied, super-rich, and concentrated, with striking purity as well as a fabulous perfume . . . . Full, voluptuous, and deep, with huge extract hiding impressive tannin levels, this winemaking tour de force will drink well for 20+ years . . . . The grapes for this wine are dried for four months prior to being crushed and fermented."
