The tasting note for 2004 Tommaso Bussola TB Vigneto Alto Amarone della Valpolicella Classico DOCG is from Robert Parker and the score is 97 - Bussola’s 2004 Amarone Della Valpolicella Classico Vigneto Alto TB is a stunning wine of profound dimensions. It reveals surreal detail in its well-delineated ripe dark fruit, licorice, smoke and tar. Though medium in body, this Amarone possesses awesome balance and polish. I found it awfully hard to put my glass down. It is extremely rare to encounter an Amarone that balances depth with clarity to this degree of profoundness. Needless to say, this wine is not to be missed. The Vigneto Alto spent 30 months in 500-liter French oak barrels, 100% new. It is one of the breathtaking Amarones I have ever tasted.
