Amarone Della Valpolicella Valpantena 2003
(over 2 years ago) buddy icon blaha41 93.0/100
the best wine i've tried under $15. bourbon, black cherry, and pine flavors, but so very smooth to the tongue. a re-review: same characteristics, but this second bottle was not as wonderful. possibly due to a "hit-or-miss" nature of wine at trader joe's. this new bottle was just lighter bodied and with a slightly shorter finish.

On the back of the bottle it says "open 1 hour before you drink" - make sure you do this. I tried it right after opening and it had a lot of tannin and felt very hard. After one hour (I decanted it too) it still was kind of hard - it tasted even better hours later. This one was super aromatic when opened (flowery). The aroma went away as time passed, but the flavor got more mature & balanced. I tasted cherries, dark berries, and freshly cut wood. It's heavy/deep & you can feel ther higher alcohol content (14.5 abv) in your mouth. Overall, I enjoyed this a lot.
