Falstaff (91)

Bright ruby red with sparkling glints. On the nose, predominant scents of raspberry jam, as well as raw meaty elements, white pepper, mild notions of mint, and background nuances of roasted almonds. Immediately evident on the palate, with grippy tannins, malty tones, then, unfortunately, tends to develop a little cumbersome towards the finish.

Jancis Robinson (17.50)

Full bottle 1,749 g. The grapes are dried for three months and the wines spends two years in new French oak botti.
Another criminally heavy bottle from the Castagnedi family. Prunes and clove-spiced chocolate. Really scented, as if pot pourri dust and souk spices had been folded, over and over, into the silk of the fruit. Extraordinarily delicate – fragile, almost – for an Amarone. It's like walking into a very old church, thick stone walls, flagstone floor worn by millenia of knees, cool and shadowed after the bright hot light of the afternoon outside; there is this single shaft of daylight entering through the one stained-glass window behind the altar; and the dust motes are slowly spinning in the silence of its line.
