The 2008 Amarone della Valpolicella Classico TB is a big wine with impressive integrity and staying power. Rich layers of dark fruit, prune, spice, tar and barbecue smoke emerge from the glass. The delivery of aromas is both compact and tight, yet make no mistake: This is an Amarone of star-powered intensity. Thick layers and textured tannins appear on the close. Drink Amarone TB within the next ten years.
