Very layered and expressive on the nose. Sweet, ripe fruit, berries, nougat, spices, hints of dried figs. On the palate very powerful and concentrated. Round, mellow, lush and complex. Very very long. For me a little heavy and tiring, but certainly a great wine. Drink or keep. 92-94(+?)

Better than 1,5 years ago, more developed and complex, especially on day 2. Black color, overwhelming sweet and complex nose. Big, big body. Baked dark fruits, dried apricot, caramelized coffee, pear tart with Bavarian cream, white chocolate, vanilla. All in harmony. Very long and silky finish. The essence of Amarone! Wow.

A monumental wine, super extracted. Very dark color. Complex nose dominated by sweetness. Dark fruit, notes of tobacco, marmalade. Deep. Concentrated. Wonderful Amarone. Long, long finish. Powerful. A future of many more years ahead.

Small tasting glass @ VINEUM during service, so a brief note. Can not recommend this Amarone highly enough, Tommaso's "T.B." series is right up there with the big names, for a (much) lower price. This 2009 is ready now but will keep for a lot of years to come!

One of the best Amarones there is...And compared to the likes of Dal Forno & Quintarelli, still quite affordable. Especially when you take into consideration that there are some 3.500-5.000 bottles per year (when its made!)

Splash decanted then back in the bottle to SO for a few hrs, deep ruby, classic Amarone nose & palate, soft/med. tannins, long finish; delicious & ready to drink

Wow. Wow. Wow. Amazingly sweet when opened but more balanced as the night wore on. Drank over 2 hours. Fantastic with beef and just a great bottle of wine. Complex and well balanced

Excellent example of amarone, in its prime; extremely smooth and rich....worth the price

Excellent amarone. This TB version is much more nuanced and structured than the standard ones.
