Tommasi Amarone della Valpolicella Classico 2003

Veneto, ItalyFrom a superheated vintage comes a similarly lush and powerful Amarone. Look for a black cherry, meaty nose with spicy, floral, gamey, smoky, rootsy aromas. Dry and still somewhat tannic it boasts plenty of cherry jam, raisins, pepper, smoked meat, licorice and tobacco flavours. A bit old style but there is good fruit and acidity suggesting this will continue to improve with another 2-3 years aging. Produced from the three main Valpolicella grape varieties -- corvina Veronese, rondinella and molinara -- all cultivated high on hillside terraces.Tasted: 12 March 2009Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
