invite me I am fortunate that, from time to time, to the vertical. What are tasting the same wine several years. And that's where you see if there is continuity, tradition, evolution, and also and above all respect the terroir, vintage interpretation. Mica
easy, however, in Italy to vertical. Few, too few wineries that have their own trove of bottles of various ages. An archive of glass. And this is one of the limits of our winegrowers, who have no history and do not think to build it. Committed to produce and sell and stop. Then you get the foreign buyers and try to tell him that the bear, and instead he wants to see if the wine estate and dignity, want to try three, four, five or more years. How do you, for that matter, with or with red Bordeaux or Riesling in Alsace ... Or I could mention many others, of cases, but almost all out dagl'italici boundaries.
Now, among the recent vertical that the fate and the exquisite hospitality bestowed on me from the tenants, there was one of the important home Guerrieri Rizzardi Bardolino. But not co 'wines of Lake Garda. Coll'Amarone. It is not an abstruse, that the family vineyard on the lake, but also in Valdadige, and Soavese and, indeed, in the heart of the historic Valpolicella (and history and beautiful is their villa valpolicellese). And there of Amarnath make it, for years, two: the Classic, so to speak 'core' and the cru Calcarole. Which hath been added in 2001, Villa Rizzardi, which is unique interpretation of that year, having decided the family not to release either the base or the reserve. Interpretation and was happy, because they arrived first, the three glasses of wine of Italy license plate guide Gambero Rosso & Slow Food.
Now, the wines. We rejected the Villa Rizzardi 2001. We have added ten years of the Classic. And then Calcarole of seven harvests. Mica little. And some one of these bottles I resent your home: cert'annate are memorable, really.
Here I write my opinion bowl, bowl. With double points: in cents and into smilies.
Villa Rizzardi Amarone della Valpolicella Classico 2001
young age. Nose of dense fruit and flower and spice. Fruttino mouth juicy berries and black cherry. More elegant and powerful. He still has very long life ahead. It may well be drunk now. Or wait.
90/100 and three Faccini happy :-) :-) :-)
Amarone della Valpolicella Classico 2000
Powerful. He fragrances ripe fruit, macerated in jam. Fruttatissima and mouth warm and welcoming too, with blackberry jam to get out of the net half the cherries.
88/100 and two happy smilies and nearly three :-) :-)
1997 decadent scents of dried flowers and fruit compote. Oxidative tracks. Interesting texture in the mouth tannins. He has green veins. And heat. A little 'rusticheggiante, I think. I would like the more elegant.
76/100 and a face :-)
1996 The nose is austere, ancient, fascinating. Withered flowers, ripe fruit, spice cake. There is no fruit in the mouth from drying and good spice. And earth, of wet clay. And giovanilissime memories green. And finesse. 93/100
three Faccini happy :-) :-) :-)
1995 Here it comes again here the red earth. Nose, immediately. There is added storage carcadè and wild rose. Veins bestial. In the mouth freshness. And small, juicy berries. And balsamic veins.
88/100 and two happy smilies and nearly three :-) :-)
1994 evolved nose and mouth now unreadable. Confused. Then gradually clear. The fruit and leaves and small red berries almost yet not quite ripe and still green tannins. Backwards.
85/100 and a happy little face and almost two :-)
1993 Wow! What aristocratic austerity in these fragrances between the earthy el'officinale. The mouth is fresh. It has crisp fruit. Nice tannic texture. Length. And drink rewarding and refreshing vein of iodine. Great. 94/100
three Faccini happy :-) :-) :-)
1991 It takes a bit 'to afford. But waiting is rewarded, leaving memories in successive waves of red fruit. And largely fruit and hot and powerful is the mouth. It has veins balsamic. Still very young.
92/100 and three Faccini happy :-) :-) :-)
1990 Austerity and olfactory charm spice and fruit by now. In the mouth, thick, luscious ripe fruit. And veins of sweetness. Read, but not at all annoying oxidative nuance. Wine decadent yet enjoyable. And memories earthy.
89/100 and two happy smilies and nearly three :-) :-)
1988 That nose strange at first confusing, restrictive, then long salty, iodine, ocean. Fascinating. The mouth power of fruit and again iodine and tar. And tannins well expressed, the balance. Wine ancient and intriguing. 88/100
three Faccini happy :-) :-) :-)
1977 The color is oxidative turns to brick. But the wine is still worthy of curious taste. Smells of hydrocarbons. Mineral veins. And traces of pepper. And memories of licorice. Sure, it's empty, fell. But the nose is stimulating. Nothing
trial.
Amarone della Valpolicella Classico 2000 Calcarole
Here it is again the note of iodine and earthiness that I had already found nell'Amarone base. Red fruit, macerated and overripe. Dense, tannic and fruity mouth exciting. Young, already influential.
92-93/100 three Faccini happy :-) :-) :-)
1997 The nose lots and lots of red fruit, elegant, charming. And yet intense fruitiness on the palate, and those who love these perceptions here that has to satisfy. Long wine. But less impressive tannin, a bit 'dry.
85/100 and two Faccini :-) :-)
1995 still much fruit nose, ripe & jam. And dried flowers and spice. Mouth enveloping. Velvet. The fruit back, juicy and exciting. It is added balsamic veins. It traces tarred. 89/100
three Faccini happy :-) :-) :-)
1991 He bell'integrità color. Nose back. Mouth hot, powerful. Fruit material and balsamic veins. But the tannins are a bit 'dry grain, and leaves a subtly bitter aftertaste. It is a shame.
84/100 and a face :-)
1990 Notes evolved, and then fruit: olfactory complexity. The tannin is maybe a bit 'rustic, but fruity convince, satisfy. Freshness, sweetness, even a few hints oxidative fascinatingly. And nice drink. 93/100
three Faccini happy :-) :-) :-)
1988 nose hard, closed. Bocca vaguely fermentation. Slowly opens and you feel that there was still so fresh fruit (and captures the Fruttino of forest, mostly). But the bottle is unhappy, alas.
rating pending.
1987 Even those hints iodine, which - as is now certain - they are earth signs. And tar and ripe fruit. Bocca austere, pleasantly velvety evolved. Hot alcohol. Composed of red fruit. Memories of pine. Length.
86/100 and two happy smilies and nearly three :-) :-)
