settling into plush lemon curd and baked apple

It has a pretty nose with raspberry and wild strawberry fruit laced with crushed stone

While deep and ripe with blackberry flavor and acidity

yet crystalline delicacy

and just the right combination of fleshy and lean

2008 | Dal Forno Romano Vigneto Monte Lodoletta | Amarone Chateau du Parc settling into plush lemon curdAn all American oak vintage. A treat to taste this from winemaker Marco's cellar. A swathe of cherry liqueur, menthol, mint and eucalyptus verging into the alpine amaro spectrum. Fascinating, complex, somewhat sweet, and to be churlish, ever so slightly drying. A fascinating and compelling wine all the same. Drink or hold. 94 Pts James Suckling
