Tasting Notes
There isn’t much to add to the words Quintarelli Valpolicella Superiore other than perhaps a few notes about the vintage. This is very serious stuff. In comparing it to recent vintages, it is 2006-ish but more closed, regal, poised, and spiced; it seems a lot younger than the 2006 did upon release. Compared to 2005, there is more stuffing here. It has more finesse than the bulky, concentrated 2004. Long, fine, and compact, it has everything to go the distance. In short, it challenges 2003 for the vintage of the decade. —Dixon Brooke

Scores
93 / 100"A lovely, elegant red, with flavors of kirsch, fig cake and dried thyme, featuring a rich underpinning of loamy earth and tarry mineral that slowly expands on the finely meshed palate. Lightly mouthwatering, with creamy tannins and a long, spiced finish."
