2004 Quintarelli Valpolicella Classico Superiore

I cannot say enough about the masterful wines of Giuseppe Quintarelli.  Having become acquainted with these wines via Mark Scudiery, they have become some of my favorites.  Perhaps an over-used term, but purity in eclectic style and substance comes to mind.  I hope to visit Quintarelli when I am traveling through Verona this summer. 
This 2004 vintage of the Valpolicella Classico Superiore is fully evolved yet has many years of life ahead.   Perhaps slightly brighter and more delineation of fruit than the Ca' del Merlo bottling,  but really too close to call.
