2000 Amarone della Valpolicella, Quintarella Giuseppe

This wine has dark ruby colour. On nose it gives pronounced aromas of black plum, dried black cherry, prune, vanilla, clove, raisin, blueberry, and touch of tea, dried leaf and brandy. It is dry with medium acidity. A touch of high alcohol and full bodied. The tannin is wonderfully soft and ripe, at medium level. The palate has over medium intensity flavours of black berry, mint leaf, licorice, and bitter almond. Fairly long length with red cherry finish, a touch of bitterness is detected. (93) Good typicity.

Amarone，little bitter的意思當之無愧。酒香強勁複雜，亦反映出其品種特性和釀製方式。酒精感出了點但不會令人感到突兀，單寧更出奇的柔順。餘韻長，有一點點回甘，只是酒味相對簡單了點和弱了點，不過已經是一枝十分好的酒品了。

幾好，很有特色。話佢似AMARONE都有人信。濃度好，酒力也不差，餘韻亦合格，好飲。但不喜歡那帶小小苦的感覺的人可能會不鍾意這酒。
