Tommasi Amarone della Valpolicella Classico 2011

The 2011 Amarone della Valpolicella Classico is a dark and extra-ripe expression with broad shoulders and a heavy frame. The warmth of the 2011 vintage shows clearly with darkened aromas of blackberry preserves and candied cherry. Bold layers of spice, leather and tobacco stand at the back. The wine boasts smooth, velveteen tannins. Drink this Amarone within the next 5-8 years. Score - 92. (Monica Larner, erobertparker.com, Feb. 2015)
