Allegrini, Amarone, 1998

Deep red, slight evolution.

Vinturi - truffle/earth/smoke/cherry jam/dried fig/spice aromas. Understated, self-contained.

Huge initial volume in the mouth, creamy, suave. Light acid/tannin synergy. No heat. All aromatic action repeated in flavor. This is FK, but not because of its size. Seamless, integrated, subtle. Long.

Day 4 - Chocolate-covered cherry (vivid)/truffle/earth/smoke nose. Huge mouth presence, great density and relative refinement. This rocks and shows no sign that it is at its peak. This really is FK.
