Dark red, brown rim. Smell not very attractive and perhaps too old? No fruit left on the taste. Medium body and length but certainly over the hill? An old Bordeaux again Robert?
Amarone 1997, Casterna Pasqua, 15€, Score 14,80 and to be forgotten
Wine # 2
Amarone 2000, Il Sestante by Tommasi, Score 17,40, Price 250 DKR
TOMMASI VITICOLTORI GRANDI VINI AMARONE RIPASSO RECIOTO CLASSICI SPUMANTI BRUT
brilliant dark red with purple rim. Fresh red berries. Apparant acidity and lots of fruit on the palate. Silky. No tannins and long well balanced taste.
Easy to drink but difficult to guess. Pinot Noir ? No! Totally lost then.
Grapes are Corvina 60% and Rondinella/Corvirone 40%....
Pieropan? What the f*** is that?
Ruberpan 2003 by Pieropan, IGT near Valpolicella, 18 GBP Score 17,80
Yes we like it!
Pieropan: Ruberpan
Great red color, lots of tar and tobacco, leather and ok. Big solid taste, fruity but still rough and noticable tannins.
Not sure where we are? Not really Bordeaux taste although Bordeaux nose. Back and forth but with some guidance Super Tuscan and Flaccianello came up.
Flaccianello della Pieve 2005, IGT, Tuscany, 2005 way too early to drink this one although it was late in the evening.....
