The 2015 Amarone della Valpolicella Classico is perfumed and amazingly fresh, showing bright cherry complemented by autumnal spice and dusty rose. It’s on the palate where the warmth of the vintage comes through, with waves of creamy, glycerol-like textures ushering in ripe balsamic-tinged blackberries, contrasted by peppery herbs and bitter dark chocolate. A thick coating of berry concentrate and fine tannins persists throughout the long finale, yet balance is maintained. This needs some time to soften, but it should be amazing in a few years’ time.

Classic is right! Pruned star shine of a nose, deep garnet with big bold bad ass body, with the dark fruit only a black hole's garden could bring. Saline, mild cinnamon bark, root veg overtones. This is one of the most affordable-true to style and terroir begated Amarone's that I love sleeping with. Delizioso!

Had this with dinner, and it was fantastic. Definitely would be better with 10 more years
