The 2008 Amarone della Valpolicella Classico Riserva Ca' Florian shows that overtly sweet note in the mouth that you get with Tommasi's other wines. That fruity sweetness makes the wine very palatable and attractive, but ultimately it takes away from the wine's inner complexity. Bold cherry, dried blackberry and candied almond flavors converge on the palate. The wine is smooth and rich in terms of texture. There are slightly evolved notes of leather and tobacco at the back.
