Monthly Tuesday group "The Dead Sparrow" #045: Amarone

Every participant had to bring a wine of the theme. We did not know which wines were brought by the others. All wines were tasted blind, also without knowing when the wine you brought yourself was poured.

  Ripe red berries and cherries in the bouquet. On the palate juicy and ripe cherries, not that much sweetness and mild acidity and tannin.

  Coffee and celery in the very mature and oxidized bouquet. On the palate the same impressions, tea, chocolate, sweet soy. The wine is still drinkable and juicy, but too old now. No score.
