Allegrini Amarone 1998

Deep red.

Earth/truffle/charcoal/cherry jam aromatics. There's a general, very positive, sweetness here. Late note of iron/blood.

Huge palate impact - creamy/mouth-filling in a way that most red wines cannot match. Then hugely structured, with major acid/tannin synergy which constricts flavor flow only slightly. Very long cherry jam/smoky/earthy/truffley finish.

Killer.

Day 2 - Major chocolate action on the nose, earth/truffle too. There's a rare density here, just loaded. Slight heat now. This will go for many years. Huge cherry jam/earth flavor impact, chewy, long.

Day 3 - Back to blood/iron/truffle on the nose.
