2011 Masi Amarone della Valpolicella Classico Campolongo di Torbe

RATINGS

97James Suckling

Fascinating aromas of dark fruits, orange peel and rose petals follow through to a full body. Round and velvety tannins and a gorgeous finish. Hints of clovers and green peppers. Shows strength at the finish.

95The Wine Advocate

There is so much richness in the tar and dark fruit notes...big payload of jammy blackberry that it comes close to being too much of a good thing.

95Wine Spectator

Beautiful on the nose, with ample ripe fruit and spice notes that follow through to the palate of crushed black raspberry and black currant, Earl Grey tea leaf and dried tea rose flavors.

94Vinous / IWC

...alluring bouquet of rum-soaked raisins, cinnamon, cherry liquor, minty herbs and a dusting of cocoa...silky in texture and more feminine and lifted...tart display of red and black fruits further complicated by notes of bitter coffee and dark, dark chocolate.

94Wine Enthusiast

Enticing scents of cocoa, blackberry preserve, new leather and baking spice fill the glass. The full-bodied palate combines velvety finesse and power, delivering spiced plum, raisin, clove and tobacco set against polished fine-grained atannins. Fresh acidity lifts the rich flavors while a licorice note lingers on the close.
