Francois Lamarche, Vosne Romanee other_regions_australia The 2013 Amarone della Valpolicella

The 2013 Amarone della Valpolicella Monte Lodoletta is my favorite wine in the retrospective

Very pure and driven

the Roagna 2014 Barbaresco Albesani opens to a medium ruby color with pretty garnet highlights

and a very solid backup of apricot and peach melba

The 1999 Rocche is rich

Francois Lamarche, Vosne Romanee other_regions_australia The 2013 Amarone della ValpolicellaHere too there are soft floral hints to the overtly spicy aromas of red and dark currants. The elegant very pure medium bodied flavors possess good verve as well as a seductive texture on the velvety finish where the sense of refinement is enhanced thanks to the fine grained tannins.
