A bottle of Michele Castellani Cinque Stelle Amarone Della Valpolicella Classico 2009

Avg score: 93 points (by Trevor Sabourin)

Slightly bricking in colour. Loads of dried/cooked fruit aromas of prune, blackberry jam, and raisin are offset nicely by chocolate mint, baking spice, tobacco, leather, and an intense cedar note. The palate is similar, but with some black olive and clove. Very full, lots of tannins, but velvety. Long finish with more raisin, prune, chocolate mint, and some smoke. Trevor Sabourin.
