Tommaso Bussola TB Valpolicella Classico Superiore, Veneto, Italy 2017 La Comarcal Generous red cherry with sweetThe 2017 Amarone della Valpolicella Classico is intense, wafting up with a rich blend of cherry sauce, cloves and cinnamon lifted by hints of fresh mint. This sweeps across the palate with ripe red berry fruits, complicated by a dusting of cocoa and brown spice. It finishes with tremendous length and a lasting concentration as suggestions of licorice and mocha slowly fade. This is a high test Valpolicella. 91 Pts Vinous
