The 2018 Amarone della Valpolicella Classico is darkly alluring, with a sweetly scented bouquet that blends medicinal cherries with sage, dried roses and baking chocolate. This is surprisingly juicy and lifted in feel, with zesty acidity motivating depths of ripe wild berry fruits as sweet spices collect toward the close. It finishes gently tannic, with a cranberry crunch that adds a lovely punctuation. (Eric Guido, Vinous, February 2024)

So delicious! Yes, high octane at 15% ABV. Yet this wine is balanced. It has a medium ruby hue with medium(+), concentrated notes of rose, both ripe and dried black cherries, red plum, purple fig, dried prune, raisin, red licorice, wet stones, clove, and sweet tobacco. Acidity is medium(+) and tannins are medium, ripe, and smooth. — 5 months ago

2007. Brought it home from Mendoza. Well aged, smooth, and ready to drink. Some red fruit and few tannins. Malbec has balanced out a lot over the years — 4 years ago

My favorite Amarone! Still very young and needs some time to reveal it’s deeper layers. OK now but I would hold these some additional years in the cellar — 6 months ago

Beautiful pudding wine, slightly lighter than a sweet port. — 9 months ago

Appropriately elevated level of concentration and complexity for the TB Riserva. The structure is slightly ill defined but everything is there in harmony. — 3 years ago
