| AMARONE DELLA VALPOLICELLA 2017 DOCG |
| Vintage Assessments Tasting Note |
Producer |
TEDESCHI |
| Assessed from a bottle purchased at the LCBO. This 2017 Vintages Essential has a youthful deep intense dark purple colour. Intense, fairly complex, ripe, plummy-cherry-raspberry nose with some slightly earthy, sandalwood-tinged, cedar notes. Dry, medium to medium-full bodied, very nicely structured, harmonious, mouth filling, intense, gently grippy, quite lovely, very bright, ripe plum-black-cherry-raspberry flavours with a lingering, fairly high acid, still fresh finish featuring elegant cedar-sandalwood notes along with a touch of appassimento sweetness, excellent acidity and faint black licorice notes. It’s nicely balanced with fine structure and bright acidity meaning that it is a joy to drink now and should last for many years to come. It has 16.5% alcohol and 7 g/L residual sugar with lot number L4 on the back label. Note that the 2016 is also now on the shelves and has a separate review. |

A Best Buy |
| This long-time Vintages Essential Amarone is made using an ancient method of air-drying grapes. The wines are intense, rich and Port-like, but dry. This has cherry, dried fruit, fig and pressed-violet aromas. Superb with roasted meats like lamb, or more exotic dishes such as beef vindaloo. |
