Incredible wine but hard to justify the price
Tried this at a restaurant and it's genuinely brilliant — layers of flavour that keep unfolding the more you sit with it. Really clean finish too. But £230 for a bottle is steep and I'm not sure it's twice as good as wines at half the price. Would I order it again on someone else's tab? In a heartbeat.

Very good but I expected more
Got this as a birthday present and had high hopes given the price tag. It's a solid wine — nice depth, long finish, well made for sure. But honestly I was expecting to be blown away and it was more of a slow burner. Maybe I needed to give it more time to open up. Would probably try it again before making a final call.

The magnum format is the way to go
The wine shop guy steered me toward the magnum and said it ages even better in the larger format. At 14% it's got some power but it never feels heavy or boozy. Really expressive on the nose — you can smell it from across the table. Paired it with a slow-cooked beef shin and it was perfect.

Worth every penny for a special night
Bought the magnum for our 10th anniversary dinner and wow, it did not disappoint. The nose hit you straight away — dark fruit, really intense but not over the top. We kept going back to it all evening and it just got better and better in the glass. At £230 it's not an everyday bottle but for a big occasion? Absolutely.

Best Valpolicella I've ever had
My mate brought this to a dinner party and I've been thinking about it since. Seriously structured wine — the fruit and acidity are just perfectly balanced, nothing fighting for attention. The finish goes on forever in the best way. I've had a lot of Valpolicella and this Dal Forno is on another level entirely.
