Bolla Recioto della Valpolicella Classico 2000

Verona, Veneto, ItalyStewed tea, jasmine, licorice, spicy clove, dried plum and blueberry aromas. Rich, round, unctuous texture with good sweetness and acidity balance. Lots of chocolate, prune, vanilla, spicy clove and smoky liquorice flavours the finish is slightly bitter with marzipan and black raspberry jam. Light tannins show on the finish but great intensity, concentration and finesse. Drink now or put away for 2-3 years and serve with a hard pecorino cheese or perhaps a very dark chocolate mousse.Tasted: 19 October 2003Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
