Tedeschi Amarone della Valpolicella Classico Capitel Monte Olmi Riserva 2011  - First Bottle

Reviews

95 James Suckling -
Very ripe morello cherries, dark plums, cigar box, kirsch and stemmy undertones, but also orange rind and plenty of floral elements. Full body, powerful and grainy tannins and a dense yet driven finish. Extremely pure fruit. This is always reserved and beautiful. Drink in 2020.
94+ Robert Parker's Wine Advocate -
If you like big Amarones, this one is big with a capital B. The most robust and powerful of the bunch, the 2011 Amarone della Valpolicella Classico Riserva Capitel Monte Olmi is also sophisticated and integrated, despite its huge alcohol content at 17%. I knew the alcohol was high, but I would have never guessed it was that high, and that speaks to the relative balance achieved here. It is sweet, robust and richly layered and textured in the mouth. This is a huge wine that will make you very happy, very fast. The blend is 30% Corvina, 30% Corvinone, 30% Rondinella and a 10% mix of Oseleta, Negrara, Dindarella, Croatina and Forselina, which comes from the Monte Olmi vineyard in the Pedemonte hills. The grapes are dried for a lengthy four months. This is the estate's flagship label, and it became a Riserva starting with the 2009 vintage. Some 10,000 bottles were made.

Just...wow. What a blockbuster...and what a jaw-dropper of a price! Four centuries (!) of winemaking have put Tedeschi at the very top of elite Amarone producers...when we are able to source a parcel like this at $84.95 PER BOTTLE (still exciting just to type that!!), putting 6 in your cart should be the first thing you do after reading this sentence. Amarone this luscious and fine is a rarity!

You’ve got to be in the mood to savor this intense, complex bottle of wine. Don’t open it willy-nilly. Save it for a special occasion and the right amount of time to appreciate it. Grapes dried for 4 months create a powerful, mouthcoating, intense, and massively flavorful wine in this Riserva --- plum jam, dried sweet cherries, fig, mocha, and all manner of exotic citrus and spice character. A head-spinner!! DON’T MISS at this crazy price today!

In stock and ready to go! FIRST COME, FIRST SERVED…!
