Quite deep garnet , just a hint of ruby and a wide garnet , terracotta rim. Touches of chestnut , dark fruits , earthy liquorice , dry spice and black tea . On the palate this is very classically styled , with dark liquorice tinged blackberry, raspberry , spiced black tea and menthol tinged good long length finish . Balanced acaidity and quite high , grippy tannins. With time this is beginning to show quite well , but will not doubt improve over the next 5 perhaps 10 years and last well a further 10 . Really quite classic and imposing in style , but detailed and complex. — 7 months ago

06 & 08 side by side. 08 took a lot of air to come alive. Still quite stern. 06 more open. Sensed some va initially. It eventually straightened out and overtook the 08 — 6 years ago

Oh what a 2+ hour decant will do. This sings much clearer. High toned, but integrated tannins, crushed red fruits & that amazing volcanic thread, and, made by a woman vintner- thus better. I hope I can age a few of these. — 8 years ago

Fantastic dry sparkling cava. Excellent for mimosas. Vaimo and I love it especially with a pineapple orange juice or pomegranate juice. — 11 years ago

Fantastic, Rosso Del Bepi shows up only when its not to the level of the title Amarone. Still, round, ready earlier than Amarone. Flavor of plum, dried black cherry, power, blueberry, full body that matched greatly with gnocchi calabresa — 11 years ago

Along with the majestic 2010 one of my favorite Stella vintages. So giving right off the bat, never any heat, just so fresh and clean. Amazing expression of Sangiovese. — 3 years ago

Garnet with slightly brickening rim. Herbs, menthol, spices and dark fruit with some pomegranate make this wine extremely exciting to discover as it aerates. The silky tannins and the medium plus acidity gift great balance to an outstanding barbaresco. — 8 years ago

Took a while for this wine to open up after decanting. Once it did, chocolate flavors, muted cherry, with slight taste of baking spices. The Acidity helps smooth the hefty 16.5% alcohol content, but this is still a powerful wine. Burnt red color along the rim faded into deep crimson towards the middle of the glass. — 8 years ago

2013 Vintage with zero problems of reduction. One of a kind expression of wine volcanic soils, 100+ year old vines, and a oceanic climate. Envinate for the win, best of its class. — 9 years ago
