Cinque Stelle Amarone 2017:

James Suckling-93, Wine Spectator-93, Robert Parker Wine Advocate-90

Robert Parker Wine Advocate: 

The 2017 Amarone della Valpolicella Classico Cinque Stelle is open-knit and slightly oxidative in personality, with a dark garnet color and lots of dried fruit and prune-like aromas. The wine is full-bodied and determined (with 15.5% alcohol), and those features are pushed forward over the palate thanks to extra aromas of spice and dried tobacco, which are the result of some three years in barrique. The traditional blend used here is 70% Corvina and Corvinone, 25% Rondinella and 5% Molinara.

James Suckling: 

Lots of ripe blueberries and dried flowers with hints of raisins on the nose. Full-bodied, rich and intense, yet fresh and vivid. Drink or hold.

Campo Casalin Amarone 2017:

Robert Parker Wine Advocate:  

Michele Castellani 2017 Amarone della Valpolicella Classico I Castei Campo Casalin offers extra concentration and depth with accessible and intense aromas of dried fruit, fig and prune. Leather, spice and dried tobacco flesh out the finish of this textured and evolved red wine that shows some early signs of aging. Of these three wines by Michele Castellani, this bottle blend of Corvina, Corvinone, Rondinella and a kiss of Molinara is the darkest and most concentrated. It ages in barrique for 30 months. The 15.5% alcohol is neatly buried within the wine's thick texture.
