Bussola "BG" Amarone 2000

Deep, saturated red.

Integrated, great nose of earth/truffle (the Amarone thing), smoky oak, plum/raspberry jam and chocolate.

A bit of heat in the mouth, but very good breadth of flavor, deep and rich. A note of celery seed is the only departure from the nose. Nice, but not great length. Very satisfying, however.

Bussola's 2nd tier Amarone.

$45
