Quintarelli, Valpolicella Classico Superiore Vintage:2003 Like the 2006

Like the 2006

A classic Gevrey nose of pungent earth

violets and cinnamon plus a touch of garrigue

This possesses a completely different aromatic expression with its very ripe yet restrained nose that features sauvage

all wrapped in a mochainflected finish

Quintarelli, Valpolicella Classico Superiore Vintage:2003 Like the 2006The 2003 is an unusually bold, ripe version of the Valpolicella Classico Superiore. Black cherries, plums, mocha and spices all flesh out in this exuberant wine. The warmth of the vintage is felt in the wines contours and early appeal. My suggestion is to drink the 2003 over the next few years. As always, the style is a bit eccentric, as the 2003 spent a good six years in cask. Antonio Galloni
