This month, just one wine rose to the top of the pile with 95 points:
Allegrini Amarone della Valpolicella Classico 2005 Concentrated, rich and dry, with the complexity of a great vintage port. We found dark chocolate, dried figs, exotic spices, aromatic herbs, smoky oak and much more. But what sets this above so many Amarones is polish and purity: for all its density and weight, it has a lightness of touch. Drink over the next eight years. Score: 95/100, £45.00 at Majestic. Find on wine-searcher.com. Just behind with 94 points came a clutch of wines, from a 2006 Chablis at £16.75 to a Chevalier-Montrachet at £143.87. |
