Color: strong ruby red. Clear and transparent.
Bouquet: notes of vanilla and ethereal airs depending on the period of aging in the barrel; notes of sweet fruits such as currants, blueberries, cherries depending on the varieties of grapes.
Flavor: wine with a velvety, raisiny character combined with the structure and typical stylish bitterness to give it good balance. It has an enduring and persistent flavour. This is a keeping wine.
Drink it with red meat and aged cheeses.
The 2014 Amarone della Valpolicella shows more cola and balsamic intensity than does the 2013, with more barbecue spice as well. In a blind tasting, I might say that this is the older wine, rather than the 2013. This weaker vintage sprinkles out plenty of garden herb and green olive. Of course, you still get the darkly concentrated Amarone dried fruit sensations of prune and raisin at its core. I think it would do well with some veal schnitzel. I like the fullness of the 2013 better when I tasted these wines together. Production here was smaller in this difficult vintage, with 90,000 bottles made.
