94 points Wine Spectator: "Polished and expressive, this shows a smoky baseline of graphite-laced minerality, with fine-grained tannins and mouthwatering acidity focusing the flavors of date, kirsch, ground anise and clove and a touch of cocoa powder. Drink now through 2022. (10/31/12)"
93 points Antonio Galloni (Wine Advocate): "[$535 list] The 2006 Amarone della Valpolicella boasts incredible richness and depth. Blackberry jam, graphite, smoke, licorice, tar and plums are beautifully integrated in this dark, seamless Amarone. Despite its considerable weight and density, the 2006 comes across as fairly accessible for a young Dal Forno Amarone. Hints of truffle, tobacco and new leather wrap around the finish. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2021. (Feb 2012)"

91 points Antonio Galloni (Wine Advocate): "[$150 list] Romano Dal Forno’s 2006 Valpolicella Superiore is dark, rich and powerful. Firm yet well-integrated tannins frame black cherries, mocha, licorice and spices in this deep, broad-shouldered wine. The 2006 boasts tons of depth and richness in a sophisticated, sleek style. I was quite surprised to see the 2006 drink well with just a few hours of air. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2018. (Feb 2012)"
91 points Wine Spectator: "Lightly chewy tannins and aromatic subnotes of pencil shavings, dried thyme and smoke support flavors of candied cherry, licorice string, dried cranberry and bresaola. This is supple overall, and the tannins provide modest structure to the creamy finish. Best from 2014 through 2022. 200 cases imported. (6/15/12)"

87 points Wine Enthusiast: "[$20 list] Grapes are dried for 30 days in order to give this Valpolicella Classico Superiore a full, concentrated and intense feel. You’ll get aromas of natural rubber, raisin, plum and prune. The wine is clean and sharp on the palate with bright fruit flavors. (Mar 2009)"
87 points Wine Advocate: "Medium-deep garnet color. Earthy, leathery aromas over dried cherry. Nice backbone of high acidity and a medium+ level of fine tannins... Medium body. Long finish. (Mar 2010)"
