Tedeschi Amarone Capitel Monte Olmi 1998

Tedeschi Amarone Capitel Monte Olmi 1998: A dark, purple-black hued wine, with an enticing and exotic nose. Aromas of dark chocolate, super-ripe summer berries, pickling spices, beetroot and more. Wonderful texture apparent on entry, which carries this wines 15% alcohol extremely well. Ripe tannins and firm acidity match up to the depth of spicy fruits very well. A superb wine, destined for improvement in bottle, but approachable now for those who enjoy wine at this stage. 18+/20 (10/3/03)
