Community Tasting Note

Thursday, January 18, 2018 - Rich high alcohol wines like Amarone are not my favourites but when I saw this bottle at c.€10 at Lidl I gave it a whirl. Because of the 15.5% alcohol I initially served it at close to cellar temperature which emphasised brightness and acidity but did not much tame the alcoholic burn. I was ageeably surprised that approaching room temperature did not further emphasise the alcohol and did bring out greater roundness with cherry touches in the fruit and better balance without veering towards cloy. I have found a number of good QPR offers like this at this supermarket chain. Good.
