Sartori 2001 Corte Brà Red (Amarone della Valpolicella Classico)

$40
This wine has a leg up on the competition thanks to its elegance. Vibrant ruby red in color, its aromas include ripe cherry, milk chocolate, leather, tobacco and Indian spice. Yes, the aromas are intense, but they are weaved together in a seamless, harmonious fashion creating a polished and pristine whole. Try it with roast leg of lamb and broad bean purée.

There's a slightly nutty-almondy edge to the black cherry and plum aromas, then lovely flaovrs of brandied fruitcake laden with baking spices and dried fruit. Yet at the same time, it's not over-the-top rich, and very drinkable with food. A long, supple, fruit-filled finish seals the deal. Drink now-2015.
