Amarone della Valpolicella Classico Corvina Blend 2018

I would say there is a strong and persistent blueberry tone, specifically freshly picked wild blueberry grown in a jack pine forest. It’s mild and dry - agree with Odedi it’s a young Amarone- if a bit more medium bodied. Tobacco, moist rock, pomegranate, clove spice. Great adventure wine for those seeking complexity. — 14 days ago

Strong leather work glove flavour mixed with mistletoe, or whatever that Christmas flavour/smell that’s in those red foamy soaps… you know what I mean? Anyway…

There’s also an almost menthol effect like fresh mint that’s cooling to the tongue, and it finishes with the bite of black pepper.

Fruity, great start but tends to level off over time to a more mellow almost nonexistent flavour. Consumed with Italian pasta, Italian pasta sauce, while watching Stanley Tucci’s “Searching for Italy” - travel to Italy, from your couch! — 19 days ago

Peppercorn, cloves, strawberry jam/raisins. Basically, dry bitterness of the Tempranillo is offset by the fruity sweetness of the cab sauv. That and as with any 10+ year vintage, expect concentrated flavour and presence. — 4 months ago

8.3

Nose: Smells like a stuffy change room at a chlorinated public pool.

First impression: Not sweet, much better than expected. Plummy, as expected. Subtle to flabby (tannin) expectations.

Tasting: Is there alcohol in this? Dark cherry, to goji berry or light cranberry? Cedar or dry pine. Smooth. Seamless.


Did Trius end up being a 7.8-rated (in this app) ‘travesty’ ? No.

Very easy drinking. So much so hard to nail down what really stands out. You get the usual ‘concentrated grape juice’ - I could taste a bit of grape stem even. But, like I said, it’s not really about the flavour profile; get it for being a really easy, not intimidating or overly bold cab sauv. — 3 months ago

Blend from Cotes-du-Rhone.
Requires experience,
Owing to terroir

A haiku for this review^

Tastes:
Cranberry, tartness, minerality/gravel or dry sand.

Or wait, let me try another one:

Falling maple leaves…
Cranberries and dark cherries,
Gravel and dry sand.
