Riserva Amarone della Valpolicella Classico Corvina Blend 2011
Appropriately elevated level of concentration and complexity for the TB Riserva. The structure is slightly ill defined but everything is there in harmony. — 9 days ago

Giare Grappa Amarone
First ever grappa. Needs lots of time to breathe. Reminds me of a brandy with heady notes of caramel, vanilla, cedar, fruits, and a touch of flowers. I don't have a comparison point other than fine whiskeys and brandies, to which, I'd say this compares very favorably.
Gift from boss at work who sourced this from a producer near his family's village of origin. — a month ago

Dark ruby coloration. On the nose, cherry, a baked cherry, florals, earth and thyme. On the palate, cherry, thyme and earth. With the flavors evolving in that order: fruit first, with some florals, followed by long lasting thyme and finally finishing with a dusty earthiness. Medium to full body with tannins still quite bold but balanced well enough. $60 at total wine. — 9 days ago
