aldegheri - amarone della valpolicella classico 1997 - tasting notes
our notes are based on the WSET systematic approach to tasting:
appearance:
clear bright, opaque purple ruby color with much lucsciou legs on the bowl of the glass
nose:
clean with a medium (+) intensity. developping with fruity characteristics of stewed dark forest fruits - blackberries, blueberries and dark cherries. with hints of black pepper and leather.
palate:
dry with a fairly balanced medium (-) acidity & medium tannin (round) with a high alcohol level and full body. medium (+) intensity flavours much as nose but with more pronounced pepper and leather on the finish. a medium and silky finish.
conclusion:
a good quality wine. with a good level of acidity, tannin and fruit still present, a fairly complex wine, it is ready to drink but can age for further terciary complexity development.
