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.
