Azienda Agricola Musella Riserva Amarone della Valpolicella Corvina Blend 2015

$67

What an elegant beauty. Dark berry fruit, tobacco, sweet baking spices, a touch of vanilla; this riserva is aged for two years in oak casks and then an extra year in bottle, for a wine of infinite elegance and poise. Estate vines (as well as fruit and olive trees) have since 1995 been cared for according to biodynamic principles; Musella is officially certified by Demeter.

The 2015 Amarone della Valpolicella Riserva is heady and sweet on the nose, as confectioners' spice and dusty cherries give way to hints of pipe tobacco. It’s rich and velvety yet maintains admirable freshness, as minerals and sweet tannins add tension toward the close. I like the contrasts of salty and sweet here, as notes of dark chocolate and balsam herbs cascade across the palate. This tapers off lightly structured and staining, with primary concentration leaving pretty florals and hints of licorice. Color me impressed; the 2015 is a wildly successful Amarone Riserva. I tasted this in February 2021, yet today's performance is definitely a step up. (Eric Guido, Vinous, April 2022)
