Latium Morini's 2003 Amarone della Valpolicella Campo Leon reveals notes of dark wild cherries, sweet herbs, tobacco, chocolate and toasted oak. This is a fairly restrained style for Amarone, yet the wine shows outstanding balance and tons of style. It is a very promising effort from this up and coming producer. Anticipated maturity: 2008-2013.
