Allegrini Amarone 1998

Deep red.

Deep truffle, wife says nail polish, I'd say a bit of shoe polish. Then chocolate and plum/raspberry jam on the nose.

High-octane, spicy entry, plush and round. Slightly spiky in mid-palate, with dark cherry flavor bumping through to the chewy, slightly dis-jointed finish. Probably needs some air.

Day 4 - Nice, deep integrated nose. Very round, completely mouth-filling. Cherry/plum jam and truffle flavors are more successful riding through middle-palate. But still a bit abrasive with alcohol. Fine tannic structure coats the front teeth. This will be around for many more years.
