A great result for the Capitel Monte Olmi Amarone della Valpolicella DOCG Classico Riserva 2017: it got 97 points by James Suckling, the highest score among the Amarone reviewed in his newsletter of 10 July www.jamessuckling.com/wine-tasting-reports/ June-2024
Here is the comment: “Restrained and deep nose of black pepper, earth, blackberries, blueberries and bay leaves. The attack is lush, dense and velvety, with a full body, refined tannins, firm acidity and great balance throughout. Long, amazing finish with dark chocolate notes. Sustainable. Best after 10 years at least, but still enjoyable now.”
For now let’s celebrate this great achievement.
See you at Great Wines Italy in New York on September 5th and at Great Wines World in Tokyo on October 7th !
