The 2010 Amarone delle Valpolicella Classico impresses for its harmony, staying power and elegance. Wines made from air-dried grapes like Amarone can sometimes feel overdone and overtly jammy. But this wine, made from a balanced vintage, allows the quality of fruit to rise above all the rest. The bouquet opens to dark fruit, prune, resin, cola and tar. A pretty note of oregano or rosemary gives the an Italian or Mediterranean personality.

Ripe, with sun-dried cherry, date and treacle notes, this is balanced and juicy, presenting a velvety palate and hints of melted licorice, grilled herb, cocoa powder and sweet smoke, lingering on the supple finish.
