Robert Parker Wine Advocate #144, 12/02: 90 Punkte "The 1999 Amarone della Valpolicella is a huge step up qualitatively. It offers aromas of asphalt, chocolate, dried black cherry fruit in a full-bodied, dense, chewy, earthy style with outstanding intensity as well as purity. It should drink well for a decade."

Wine Enthusiast 05/03: 93 Punkte: "Immensely sweet, both in terms of aromatics and flavors. the bouquet offers bacon, vanilla, blackberry and coconut-tinged oak. The palate delivers layers of black fruit, peper, bitter chocolate and caramel The finish is firm yet not overboarding"
