Amarone della Valpolicella Classico Vigneto Alto 2003

- 93 points -

The 2003 Amarone della Valpolicella Classico Vigneto Alto TB is an explosive wine that shows an impressive level of territorial and varietal tipicity. There is a spot of volatility that is in line with grapes that see the appassimento drying process. You can't really describe this as a traditional expression of Amarone, nor is it a modern rendition. The wine's thick extraction, deep aromatic layering and wide scale intensity put it somewhere in the middle on this continuum. Sweet plum, tobacco and baking spice wrap thickly over the palate. It is extra rich and warm with 16.5% alcohol. No matter what, it is built to last.
