A classy effort, the 2006 Amarone della Valpolicella Classico is a magnificent wine that showcases the qualities and pretty nuances of the elegant vintage. The bouquet is immensely perfumed with delicate tones of crushed mineral, red rose, dried cherry, creme de cassis, Indian spice and cured meat... Drink 2015-2028. Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

An Amarone I can get behind & drink up - elegant, restrained vs. category, beautiful.

Delicious! Lovely bouquet of raisins, prunes, dates, mushrooms, and baking spices on the nose. One of the better Amarones I have ever had.

Dark berry, black plum and pepper aromas. Light, elegant, balanced, subtle tannin. Warm cognac overtone finish.
