Villa Erbice Amarone Della Valpolicella

Wine Advocate: The 2007 Amarone della Valpolicella Tremenel may be the best version of this single-vineyard expression made in the past decade. It shows a soft and richly textured consistency that is animated with black cherry, dried currant, chocolate and exotic spice. A dark mineral tone runs through the wine, shaping a beautiful sense of elegance and finesse that is rare in Amarone. Drink 2015-2025. Score: 93. —Monica Larner, September 2013.  Wine Enthusiast: Tremenel has an earthy fragrance of underbrush, tobacco and ripe black fruit with a whiff of spice. The palate delivers a tight core of black cherry layered with raisin, white pepper, nutmeg and cocoa backed up by bracing but refined tannins. Score: 91. —Kerin O'Keefe, December 01, 2013. Wine Spectator: Pure notes of cherry fruit lead the way in this well-meshed and balanced red, mixing with accents of date, red licorice and pekoe tea. Offers a light chewiness to the tannins, which emerge on the juicy finish. Drink now thr
