Tommasi 120 Anniversary Amarone della Valpolicella Classico 2017

Needs air to bring out the intense, bright red berries with some dates and spicy, meaty notes. Full-bodied with a tight but forward-driven palate, spurred along by clean acidity and firm, fine tannins. It’s all there, but needs time to mellow out. Try from 2023 [into early 2030s]. Score – 93.
