2015 Masi Amarone Della Valpolicella Classico Serègo Alighieri Vaio Armaron

RATINGS

96Wine Enthusiast

Perfectly ripe aromas of black plums and black cherries, both brooding and elegant, rush out of the glass. Supported by notes of Dutch cocoa, espresso, and a dried bouquet of herbs and flowers. The lush palate is full of dark fruit flavors with fine and firm tannins and a pop of acidity.

95Vinous / IWC

...spicy and refined with a perfumed display of floral-laced cherries, dried flowers, shaved cedar and hints of sage. This is silky and elegant with a contrasting bitter twang, mixing hazelnut with a subtle bump of spicy citrus giving way to saturating mineral-drenched berries.

95James Suckling

Bitter and pithy and wild and energetic, splaying maraschino cherry, almond husk, fennel and walnut husk long and broad.

93Wine Spectator

This elegant Amarone is traditional in style for the tobacco-laced overtone, crisp tannins and plush texture, yet this shows modern equilibrium and precision, with fresh acidity, deft and a detailed display of ripe black cherry, milled white pepper and anise, singed orange peel and minerally iron and smoke.

92The Wine Advocate

...packed tight with black fruit, and you feel the impact of the wine's concentration and intensity on all the senses....bouquet shows baked berry, exotic spice, barbecue smoke and teriyaki.
