esbrown reviewed Boscaini Amarone della Valpolicella Classico 1996 on May 26, 2005 Interesting aromas of fig, basil, cheese rind and just a touch of tar over a distinct raisiny vein. There is some definite bricking and rim variation, hints that this wine may be over the hill. Very complex flavors of tobacco, molasses, roasted hazelnuts and peppery rum raisin. Very good until the finish, which is slightly grainy and heavy on the tobacco. Just a touch too old. |
