Quintarelli’s Amarone della Valpolicella Classico 1998 seduces with aromas of plums, black cherries, black tea and baker’s cocoa and spice. One the palate layers of glycerol and fine tannin weave through attenuated notes of this peppery, wonderful spice accent that is evident on the attack and later, emerges on the finish, it is, in fact a central theme to this thrilling novella. Dried herbal notes add complexity to the final chapter.
