2000 Nicolis Angelo e figli Amarone della Valpolicella Classico Ambrosan

Not destemmed before fermentation. 7.5 g/l RS Very deep dark ruby, almost impenetrable. Brooding, sweet, dried-fruit nose and oriental spice. Less fine on the palate but with lots of concentration and stalky persistent tannins. Bigger style. The sugar level seems high but is compensated for by flattering bitterness. Warm finish. (WS)
