2016 Musella Amarone della Valpolicella Riserva DOCG
(94 Points) Coy and brooding in the glass, the 2016 Amarone della Valpolicella Riserva grumbles up with a dark mix of black currants, cinnamon and balsamic spice. It's surprisingly silky and energetic within, smoothing over the palate with ultra-ripe red and black fruits contrasted by a saline core of acidity. While tannic and drenching the senses in concentration, the 2016 maintains a lively character, even if youthfully poised. This will require cellaring to show its best, yet I expect it will be worth waiting for.
