Tommasi Amarone della Valpolicella Classico

Lots of licorice, bark, pine cones and red peppers. Full- bodied and juicy, with a subtle yet firm tannin structure, delineated fruit and a dry, cedary finish that should expand with some time. It would be wise to wait a few years. Drink or hold [to the end of the decade].[The perfect stocking stuffer, or ideal for an intimate holiday dinner.] Score – 93.
