The 2001 Syrah Astralis Vineyard may be just as compelling as the 2002

Sweet fruit and leather accents return on the finish

The balance isn’t ideal and I would suggest drinking this on the younger side

Quintarelli, Valpolicella Classico Superiore other_regions The 2001 Syrah Astralis VineyardThe 2003 is an unusually bold, ripe version of the Valpolicella Classico Superiore. Black cherries, plums, mocha and spices all flesh out in this exuberant wine. The warmth of the vintage is felt in the wines contours and early appeal. My suggestion is to drink the 2003 over the next few years. As always, the style is a bit eccentric, as the 2003 spent a good six years in cask. Antonio Galloni
