Depths of crushed black cherries, plums, autumnal spice and sweet herbs define the 2013 Amarone della Valpolicella Classico Ambrosan. This is dense and rich on the palate, with velvety waves of mocha-infused red and black fruits complicated by balsamic spices and fine-grained tannins that slowly saturate. The 2013 tapers off like a black hole of structure, leaving hints of mocha and salted licorice to linger. This is a powerful vintage of Ambrosan. Extended cellaring will be required to unlock all its hidden depths.

Nice baked plums, black cherries, crushed stones and chocolate-dusted strawberries and oranges. A hint of oyster sauce, too. This is an intense and full-bodied Amarone, but far from heavy. Impressive tannin structure here, with a juicy palate and a long, tangy finish. Very well-poised and still youthful. Drinkable now, but better to hold for more complexity to emerge.
