  Amarone tasting (at my home): Visual:
  
  The wine is a deep, dark ruby color with hints of garnet at the rim. It is clear and bright with good viscosity.
  
  Aroma:
  
  The nose is complex and intense, with aromas of dried fruits, chocolate, tobacco, and spice. There are also hints of leather, earth, and flowers.
  
  Palate:
  
  The palate is full-bodied and rich, with flavors of dried cherries, plums, chocolate, and tobacco. The tannins are well-integrated and smooth. The acidity is balanced and refreshing. The finish is long and lingering.
  
  Overall:
  
  The 2008 Tommasi Amarone della Valpolicella Classico De Buris Riserva is a complex and well-balanced wine with a long and lingering finish. It is a great choice for special occasions or for pairing with hearty dishes such as game, roasted meats, or aged cheeses.

  Noticeable colour fade at the rim; nice complexity, developing fruits, mushroom, autumnal leaf litter, spice; sweet entry, dried fruits, sweet decay with a freshness too. Big, hidden structure.
