The 2006 Amarone della Valpolicella is fabulous. Dark cherries, plums, menthol, leather and licorice flow effortlessly from this rich, round Amarone. This shows marvelous richness and density while avoiding heaviness in a moderately concentrated style for Amarone. Bitter chocolate and mocha linger on the intense yet beautifully crafted finish. This is another superb effort from Tedeschi. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2022. These new releases from Tedeschi include a number of fabulous values. Importer: Dreyfus Ashby & Co., New York, NY; tel.
