Tasting notes
Deep red colour with a dark core. No sign of age. Nose shows chocolate and spices. Old woods. Quite acidic mouthfeel for an amarone
in the mouth. Shows some evolvement and mostly tertiary-notes of chocolate, old woods, leather. Touch of cherries, but shows a bit
lacking in fruit. Closed? Decent quality, but lacks the greatness I had hoped for here. Try again later.
Arnt Egil Nordlien Tasting note: Jan-99
Deep red colour. The nose shows bitter-almonds, cherries in spirit and evolved notes of leather and dust. Some fine high notes.
Fullbodied and evolved amarone in the mouth. But the '86 lacks the finesse of later vintages of this wine. This is a more rustic
effort with some bitter-notes, hints of almonds and leather. Medium acidity and a little tannins in the back. Fine more than great,
amarone that has evolved nicely.
