Drinking

Scores

A decadent nose of treacle tart, chocolate, tar, tons of black fruit such as blackberries and mulberries and even ash and liquorice. A dense, layered mouthfeel makes for a full-bodied palate that's explosive yet somehow so refined and pretty all at the same time. The finish goes on and on. Incredible now, but better to wait for this giant to settle well into 2020.
97 points, James Suckling

Tasting Notes

So dense and concentrated it pools in the glass. Aromas of caramelised sugar, dried plums and prunes emerge with lashings of clove and nutmeg spice and woodsmoke. Already there is a touch of shiitake mushroom development in the background. On the palate the power is jaw-dropping with statuesque poise and structure that will ensure decades of life. Velvety finish. Fantastic.

ProducerRomano Dal Forno

Romano Dal Forno took control of his Valpolicella wine estate at the age of 22 and quickly turned the Veneto’s maestro, Giuseppe Quintarelli for advice. A policy of low yields and an uncompromising drive for quality has established the Dal Forno family as the producers amongst the finest producing from dried grapes - an otherworldly Amarone, a complex Valpolicella Superiore and a deliciously sweet Recioto. The area has been proven, by Romano, as a magnificent terroir for Valpolicella wines. Dal Forno is now one of the most collectable and sought-after wines in Italy.
