This year the Amarone Classico Campolongo di Torbe '13 gave us the most thrills with its vibrant aromas of plum and cherry jam, then a minty hint that turns to deeper notes of chocolate and spices. The palate is dense, taut, rich, with velvety tannins, topped off by a gratifying finish. Score - 3 Glasses (out of 3). (Gambero Rosso Italian Wines, 2022) Enticing scents of cocoa, blackberry preserve, new leather and baking spice fill the glass. The full-bodied palate combines velvety finesse and power, delivering spiced plum, raisin, clove and tobacco set against polished fine-grained atannins. Fresh acidity lifts the rich flavors while a licorice note lingers on the close. 95 points Wine Enthusiast
