1988 Bertani Amarone della Valpolicella Classico DOCG

 "A wonderful wine. Prune, bitter chocolate, smoked meat and black pepper. Full and dense and fine. Long and forceful, yet time has transcended any sense of sweetness or heaviness. A fantastic Amarone that is uncannily akin to a fine Bordeaux, accentuated by a tad of rusticity at the finish that doesn't, however, impede its long flow. Drink now." - 95/100, James Suckling
