2008 Michele Castellani Colle Cristi Amarone della Valpolicella

A blend of Corvina Veronese 70%, Rondinella 20%, Molinara 10%, a classic bouquet of sweet tobacco spice, coco, dried meats, dried plums and a bit of that clay like playdough minerality. A nice touch of sweetness to the sweet dark cherry liqueur like fruit onthe tongue, very juicy but also fresh just a bit of that sundried quality to the finish along with a host of the nuance from the nose, that exotic brown spice, dried exotic meat like qualities, very nice complexity through the finish, even better on the second day, sweet but balanced and fresh at the end. Finish 45+ Most Excellent
