Monte Lodoletta 1998

This wine has a surprising balance considering its amazing robustness. It is less concentrated than the others but no less stimulating for the senses. The color is again a very intense red but a little less chromatically exasperating. In the aroma there is some bitter bark on a peppermint background along with scents of black pepper and blond tobacco. The leitmotiv here is dark chocolate with various percentages of pure cacao. The mouthfeel is, as always awesome, with enormous volume, rotund and at the same time balanced by very fine tannins. Here again the wine ability to saturate is outstanding.
