Wine Enthusiast:
Plum cake, leather, cocoa, eucalyptus, and exotic spice slowly take shape. The firm palate offers dried black currant, raisin, leather, licorice, mocha and sage alongside tightly knit, close-grained tannins. - Kerin O’Keefe
Robert Parker Wine Advocate
Valentina Cubi's 2009 Amarone della Valpolicella Classico Morar is a beautiful and well-executed blend of 65% Corvina, 10% Rondinella and 25% Corvinone. The wine's appearance is dark and thickly extracted. The bouquet is equally rich with heavy aromas of ripe fruit, dried blackberry, barbecue spice and liquid smoke. In the mouth, Amarone Classico Morar delivers bold textural richness and chewy consistency. It still shows a lot of baby fat and the wine should soften and become more streamlined with bottle aging. - Monica Larner

| Characteristics |
Beautiful, concentrated ruby colour. Perfumed and elegant, with dark cherry and blackberry fruit with a hint of vanilla pod, cinnamon bark, and dark, spicy chocolate. Great freshness and succulence on the palate, with lovely tannic grip and a long red fruit and spice finish. |
| Pairing | Goes well with roast, game meat and cheese. |
