I believe this was Tedeschis first vintage of their cru
Monte Olmi. Dark brown-red colour. Quite browning ring.
Nose has lots of raisins and dried oxydated fruits. Some
coffee and bitteralmonds. Powerful and soft wine in the
mouth. Dried, raisiny fruit. Some leathery complexity. Very
mature, starting to dry out slightly. Low acids and not
much tannins. Quite classical and highly detectable as
amarone. Nice, but a bit too old now, probably better 5
years ago.
