1999 Amarone Capitel Monte Olmi

The 1999 Amarone della Valpolicella Riserva Monte Olmi is gorgeous in its maturity, as dusty florals, earth tones and crushed fall leaves give way to smashed red plums. This coasts along the palate lifted and finessed, with a pretty inner sweetness. Balsam herbs complement pure red fruits. The 1999 leaves a staining of minerality along with cocoa and medicinal cherry hints, finishing entirely resolved and simply overdelivering in every possible way.
