Fabiano Amarone della Valpolicella 1998

Verona, Veneto, ItalyVery spicy, black cherry, prune, prickly, licorice, tobacco and pepper nose. Rich, round, supple style but quite warm. Coffee, spicy, smoky, black cherry, mocha flavours with some almond, licorice and game on the finish. A bit warm and tannic on the finish, will improve over the next 2-3 years. The nose is a bit volatile like most old-style Amarone.Tasted: 13 August 2005Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
