94 James Suckling
Dried berry, red brick and bark character to the nose. Full-bodied with spicy fruit bound in lightly firm tannin and oak, producing a long finish. This feels very young and needs to unwind a bit more to bring out the complexity that lies under the surface. But it’s there, so worth waiting for. A sturdy red, built for the long term.
93 Vinous
The 2017 Amarone della Valpolicella Classico Riserva Montefante lifts from the glass with an inviting blend of crushed cherries and autumnal spices, complemented by dusty rose. It's soft textured and round, with depths of tart red and blue fruits offset by hints of blood orange and saline mineral tones. The 2017 finishes with staining length and a pleasantly bitter twang of dark chocolate that lingers on and on.
93 Wine Enthusiast
Brooding and dark aromas of macerated plums with bitter chocolate, dried herbs and a woodsy earthiness. The full-bodied palate has concentrated black-cherry preserves with a savory bitterness finishing with firm and well-structured tannins. Drink 2024–2045.
