CASE PRICE = $74.99 per bottle (add 12+ quantity to your basket)
95 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: "Dal
Forno should really change the name of his 2005 Valpolicella Superiore.
It is really an Amarone for all practical intents and purposes, as it
is made entirely from fruit that has been dried, albeit for less time
than that legally required for Amarone. Firm, sturdy tannins frame
blackberries, blueberries, violets and new leather in the 2005
Valpolicella. This is an especially structured, shut-down wine, even
within the context of Dal Forno. The wine’s gorgeous inner perfume and
sheer depth suggest that all that is required is patience. With time in
the glass the tannins soften just enough to get a glimpse of what is in
store for those who can wait a few years. Bittersweet chocolate,
graphite and tar are layered into the authoritative finish. Anticipated
maturity: 2015-2025." - Antonio
Galloni (Feb 2011)

fresh, juicy red is driven by a rich note of black licorice snap, mixed

freshly ground spices-anise, clove and cardamom. Shows fine balance and
polish throughout, with a sweet smoke note and subtle tannins building
on the finish. Drink now through 2026.—A.N. (Aug 3, 2011)

93 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate:
"Sweet, open aromatics lead to hints of dark blueberries,
blackberries, spices and minerals as the 2004 Valpolicella Superiore
gradually opens in the glass. Today the wine comes across as shut down,
but the imposing tannins are also rather fine, suggesting that with time
the wine’s inner sweetness will gradually emerge. Readers who want to
try their luck with this wine earlier should open the bottle a good
eight hours or so prior to drinking it. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2019." - Antonio Galloni (10/2008)
