La Poja 2018

98–99
/100

Lobenberg: Die Parzelle »La Poja« bringt Allegrinis exklusivsten Flagship-Kultwein hervor. Sie wurde 1979 mit reiner Corvina bepflanzt, die autochthone Rebsorte ist der wichtigste Bestandteil der qualitativ hochwertigsten Amarone und sie profitiert ungemein von den optimalen klimatischen Bedingungen der Lage La Poja auf 320 Höhenmetern in Süd-Ostausrichtung auf extrem kalkhaltigen Tonböden. Die Parzelle ist sozusagen der Gipfel der Lage La Grola. Tiefes Rubin-Purpurrot. Sehr konzentriert und dicht. Schwarze Johannisbeere und Kirsche, alles mit feiner, zart rauchiger Mineralität und etwas Würze vom Ausbau im Barrique unterlegt. Mmmh verführerische dunkle Schokolade, ein Hauch Vanille und saftige dunkle Beerenfrucht gleiten mit fein strukturierten und dennoch zugleich samtigen Tanninen über die Zunge. Der Wein hat auch eine wunderbar feine, finessenreiche und duftige Eleganz an sich. Der Wein braucht noch etwas Zeit, also am besten dekantieren oder noch ein paar Jahre warten, das ist sehr langlebiger Stoff. Ein Balance Akt zwischen Power und Finesse. Mega schick! 98-99/100

Decanter über: La Poja

-- Decanter: Beautiful lifted scents on the nose; crushed rose petals, pink peppercorns, such incredible incense fragrance - alive, pure, concentrated and expressive - strawberries and blood orange. Crystalline and pure, upfront from the first sip - juicy and so lively but energetic too - incredibly forward and electric almost. Direct at first, then slowly expands, increasing in intensity, mass and flavour as it goes from start to finish. Leaves a lingering buzz on the tongue with softly spiced edges and a depth of red cherry and plum fruit that lasts and lasts. Utterly seductive and expansive, not especially demonstrative in terms of texture at the moment, more controlled and calm, it's all about the flavours and the intensity of the acidity that gives this such a thrill. Just hinting at its potential with brightness and verve. Tannins are integrated giving the frame and the flavour is nuanced and poised. Great freshness with balanced acidity. Feels well made with intention and such lovely drinking pleasure, a benefit of the slightly cooler vintage. A wine that makes you think, and then smile, and then drink! La Poja is Allegrini’s flagship single-vineyard red and sits at the summit of Podere La Grola. The Corvina vines were planted in 1979 on well-drained chalk and stony soils, and its first vintage was in 1983.

Jane Anson über: La Poja

-- Jane Anson: One of my favourite and highest scoring wines of this mini vertical, the 2018 La Poja defines the new stylistic trajectory that the family is on for this benchmark wine. Deep youthful colour. Attractive nose of red fruits and perfume that gathered over time in the glass. Seriously impressive palate with lush, primary cherry and blackberry flavours followed by savoury ink and graphite. There is oak influence, but it is restrained and textural. The acidity is crunchy and fresh; the tannins fine grained and work well within the medium to full bodied structure. Perhaps most remarkable of all is the way in which this wine carries its 15% alcohol so lightly. With a long, elegant and persistent finish, this is a more refined and contemporary interpretation of La Poja that bodes well for the future. 2018 was a long slow harvest with elongated ripening that yielded abundant, high quality grapes, lasting at La Poja from October 18-19.

Wine Enthusiast über: La Poja

-- Wine Enthusiast: Aromas of black cherry and plum combine with sandalwood, clove, allspice and savory herbs to woo you into the glass. Elegant, refined, structured and full in body, this wine is pure class. The dark-hued fruit flavors are integrated with the savory elements of the wine, where each plays a key role. The star of the show is on the finish where a distinct minerality reminiscent of chalk stands firm with a lift of acidity around it. 96/100

Colin Hay über: La Poja

-- Colin Hay: (Veronese IGT; 100% Covina Veronese; from a single-vineyard site at 32 metres of altitude and with a south-eastern exposition). Just the second release of this wine on la place – from the somewhat cooler 2018 vintage. The somewhat longer hang-time has produced a deeply impressive wine. It is a little tight and closed at first, almost reticent to express itself aromatically. But this is very fresh and everything is in place. Indeed, this exudes cool restraint. There’s a very gentle spiciness – cinnamon and nutmeg – that is both attractive and enticing. The fruit is sensuous, pure and precise. Plums, pomegranate and loganberry, a little sour cherry – all fresh and plump. And this is very well structured – with the fruit strapped tightly to the spine. This is more crystalline and luminous than the 2010, tasted alongside. Chewy yet always fine-grained tannins build towards the finish, producing grip at first and then releasing a fine fantail. Elegant and pure with a subtle oakyness only really present in the empty glass. 95/100

Falstaff über: La Poja

-- Falstaff: Leuchtendes, sattes Rubin. Eröffnet mit Noten nach frischen roten Kirschen, etwas Johannisbeere, zeigt sich aber auch etwas verschlossen. Viel samtiges, gut eingebundenes Tannin, dazu etwas Milchschokolade mit Johannisbeere, kernig, spannt einen weiten Bogen, salzig.
