Amarone 1997
Dal Forno Romano

Bottle (6)

The Chambers Collection: This standout consignment comes from a wildly successful New Jersey trial lawyer who had a deep passion for blue-chip Italian wines. All wines stored in the consignor’s ice-cold, temperature-controlled home cellar.

"The 1997 Amarone della Valpolicella is impenetrably dark in color with an intoxicating and exotic bouquet, as Chinese five spice and dried flowers blossom into a dusting of cocoa, cloves, allspice and pomegranates. There's simply so much going on here and a ridiculous amount of depth. This is silky-smooth and elegant, yet it colors within the lines of balance, even as masses of ripe red and black fruits settle upon the senses under an air of inner rose. I can't believe how remarkably fresh and youthful this is at twenty-four years old. There's a pleasant inner sweetness even as this comes across as perfectly dry. The finish goes on for well over a minute, taking on an almost-Amaro bitterness, and leaves the palate feeling completely fresh. The 1997 is a perfect example of the aging potential of Amarone. Wow." (96 pts. Eric Guido, Vinous, Jan. 2022)
