Trabucchi 2000 Red (Amarone della Valpolicella)
-
$50
A bit rooty and spicy, with aromatic notes of root beer, cinnamon, tea and cedar. Features somewhat of a tannic, racy feel, with flavors running toward cherry. One taster found it a touch minty and leafy, but two-thirds of our panel approved of the wine’s zesty, snappy characteristics.
