Bosan is a sweet-smelling Amarone with vibrant aromas of blueberry and cherry followed by delicate floral nuances. The wine is direct and immediate with background aromas of red apple, vanilla and oak. It’s exceedingly smooth and ends with sweet fruit and soft tannins. An outstanding wine.——M.L.(12/1/2009)—— 94

Built like a house, with seductive prune, sandalwood and root beer aromas. Very dense, with a firm foundation. Thus the palate is heavy, but it’s loaded with plum, cherry, raisin and chocolate. It’s pretty much everything you’d expect from Amarone, and the tannins are smooth but active. Should hold for another three to five years. ——W.E.(11/1/2005)—— 90
