D'Angelo Dolce Vita Rosso 🔥 95pts 🔥 Exclusive Release!

I tasted this wine out of the barrel two years ago, and I knew from that moment the wine would be special one day…but to be honest, I didn’t anticipate it would be THAT special. OMG, this is Top 10 Wines of the Year material. From 100% Tempranillo grapes, 7 years of barrel aging, mostly coming from the 2016 vintage, this small batch of fortified wine has to be the very best Canadian “port style” wine I have ever tasted. Fragrant nose of pipe tobacco, plums, Morello cherries, dark chocolate, violets, eucalyptus and toffee are mingling beautifully with aromas of dried herbs and oak spices. On the palate, this bottle offers a very creamy and richly textured wine with substantial fruit weight, with blue plum, dark cherry, cassis and raspberry jam, sweet oak spice, licorice and loads of tobacco. There is a toasted note of espresso bean on the finish interacting with cracked black pepper and cloves. The most surprising aspect of this 18+ % alcohol it’s the freshness: it’s fantastically bright and crisp for an after meal pour. It also shows elegant restraint despite its natural power.
