Allegrini Amarone della Valpolicella Classico 1995 750 ml

The 1995 Amarone has developed beautifully. It remains firm and vibrant, with lovely complexity in its perfumed red cherries, licorice, leather, mint and flowers. Still big and full-bodied, the 1995 promises to drink well for a number of years. It is a magnificent effort from Allegrini. Much of the wine’s freshness can be attributed to a cold, rainy spring that resulted in an uneven flowering and naturally lower yields. Anticipated maturity: NOW. Robert Parker RATED 93

Wonderfully clean and vibrant, with crushed berry, cherry, spice and raisin on the nose. Full-bodied, with velvety tannins and a long finish. Slightly one-dimensional; give it time. Best Now. 8,000 cases made. –JS RARE
