Wine Spectator reviews: Amarone Monte Sant'Urbano 2005 e 2006

Fratelli Speri Amarone della Valpolicella Classico Vigneto Monte Sant'Urbano 2006

91 points  | 1,000 cases imported | Red

There's a lovely nose on this wine, offering blueberry, mineral and floral notes that follow through to a full body, with subtle fruit and a firm, polished tannin structure. The polish and beauty to this is right. Best after 2011.-J.S.

90 points| NAcases made | Red

Shows lots of blackberry jam and fresh herbs on the nose. Full-bodied, round and fruity, with velvety tannins and a long finish. The balance and richness you look for in an Amarone. Best after 2011.-J.S.
