2009 Fumanelli Amarone della Valpolicella Classico WS--92 WE--91

Wine Spectator: 92 Points
Refined and creamy, this ripples with flavors of raspberry pâte de fruit, mocha, smoke-tinged mineral and fig cake. Beautifully balanced, with silky tannins and delicate threads of fragrant herb and spice that wind through the wine and linger on the rich finish. Drink now through 2029. 1,800 cases imported. — AN

Pressed blue flower, ripe black-skinned berry, baking spice, tobacco and leather aromas come together on this round, full-bodied wine. The delicious palate offers juicy wild cherry, raspberry jam, vanilla, cinnamon and licorice while pliant, velvety tannins offer elegant support. It deftly combines power and finesse. Drink through 2024. Kerin O’Keefe
