Amarone della Valpolicella Classico 'La Rosta' 2003

91

This is a big, brawny, plush, “international” Amarone that sees 4 years of oak and delivers thick layers of espresso coffee, chocolate fudge, wood toast and honey nut. It has a chewy-viscous mouthfeel, rounded off by caressing spice flavors and very good length on the finish

The nuanced nose features the tartness of pomegranate and blood orange, the depth of dried cherries and cranberries and the warmth of soil and mocha. On the palate, the fruit remains warm and tangy, but is undoubtedly sweeter, and that sweetness is enlivened by chocolate undertones until a spicy, satisfying, still-warm finish.
