2000 Capitel de' Roari Amarone

[hotwine]

Whoo-eee! Beeeutiful! Deep red, opaque, in the glass; heady nose of old bruised fruits; more bruised red fruits on the palate, definite wood undertone, lingering lip-smacking finish. 15% alc/vol and about $20. With Pecorino Romano and water crackers while watching the Spurs & Suns. Good game. I could slurp this juice all night. Buy more!

wow, a good Amarone for only $20?!? that's great to hear. I'll have to look for this one.

Popped another tonight with chicken & cheese-stuffed ravioli in marinara sauce, steamed brocolli and sauteed zucchini. Bee-utimus! She had been out of town when I tried the first one, so this was a revelation for her, and natch, she loved it.
