Bussola Valpolicella Classico Superiore TB 2016

Valpolicella Classico Superiore TB is an intense and powerful effort that blends crushed cherry cordials with balsamic and autumnal spices to create a dramatic display that will remind you more of Amazon than Vaolpolicella.Its silky-smooth texture and much more savory than youd expect following its extroverted bouquet.Within Im finding tart red berries and salty minerals as well as a bitter twang of pure cocoa.Theres amazing persistence, too as this finished incredibly long, spicy and with a buildup of chewy concentration.Its hard to compare this large-scale wine within its own category, yet theres plenty of pleasure to be found.This is made using 50% fresh and 50% dried grapes, all aged in new 700-liter barrels, and it shows.
