1995 Giuseppe Quintarelli Amarone della Valpolicella Classico Superior from this lot has the following scores - The Wine Advocate 97 points, Vinous 95 points, CellarTracker 95 points. This is the tasting note for 1995 Giuseppe Quintarelli Amarone della Valpolicella Classico Superior from Robert Parker - The 1995 Amarone della Valpolicella is a towering, majestic wine of heroic proportions. This big, full-bodied wine flows across the palate with remarkable depth, expansiveness and purity. There are tons of ripe dark fruit here, along with nuances of leather, spices and sweet tobacco. This opulent wine builds on the finish, where it displays superb staying power. This is another reference-point wine from Giuseppe Quintarelli, and although it is insanely expensive, it isn't marred by some of the imperfections (namely excessive volatile acidity) that sometimes show up in his wines.
