2016 Grassi - Amarone della Valpolicella DOCG (750ml)
97 Points
"From the second I tilted the glass, I knew that the 2016 Amarone della

Valpolicella was a total knockout. Macerated cherries are contrasted by a

whiff of tangerine that gives way to vibrant rose tones and autumnal spice.

This soothes with glycerol waves of spicy red fruits complemented by

cinnamon, clove and dark, dark chocolate tones. There’s tremendous

balance here with bright acids and a totally sexy and exotic style. This just

goes on and on and finishes structured and firm yet incredibly fresh,

leaving the palate stained in concentration as violet floral tones fade. For

all of its heady depth and concentration, there are only two grams per liter

of residual sugar. You don’t need to save this riveting Amarone for the

dessert course.
