WineScores' Review

Savoury, supple, succulent.
Made from almost 60-year-old estate Corvina Veronese, Corvinone and Rondinella vines, this baby Amarone was aged for 20 months in large neutral oak barrels, then six months more in bottle.
It suggests sweet brown spices, prune, charred orange peel, balsamic, cherry liqueur, leather and tealeaf aromas. Spicy dried red fruit, vanilla and brown spice is expressed on the palate, espresso trails on the finish. It has a supple weight and some chew to the tannins, the finish is savoury.
Age potential 10 years.

WineDiva.ca was launched prior to WineScores, in February 2004. WineDiva is the alter ego of Daenna Van Mulligen. She wears a cork tiara and is proof that a girl can have her w(h)ine and drink it too! WineDiva.ca is a tongue-in-cheek approach to a very serious passion for all things wine. WineDiva’s goal is to make wine fun, subtly educational & deviously inspirational. Vintage reciting wine snobs need not apply. WineDiva is painting the wine world pink and drinking it all in, and her glass is always (at least) half-full.

WineScores is the more serious follow up to WineDiva.ca. WineScores was born from the demand to see wine writer Daenna Van Mulligen provide scores on her wine reviews. These are numerical scores based on a 100 point scale – an internationally recognized form of rating wines. These numbers provide a snapshot for consumers on how the wine reviewer views the overall quality of the wine. For more information on scoring wine, go to “about”.
