Fratelli Tedeschi 'Lucchine' Valpolicella Classico 2004
Sight: Deep ruby core, slightly garnet rim. Nice, vibrant color.
Nose: Spicy, dark berry aroma, hints of characteristic bramble fruit. A little hot but at the same time the fruit is restrained and somewhat 'cold'. A bit monochromatic but great at $10.99.
Taste: Hot again in the mouth, but nicely structured with fine tannin and dark fruit. Alcohol definitely a bit off balance. Shortish finish. Again, a surprise at this price.
Opinion: I tend to stay away from Valpolicellas, but this one was really good. Much more elegant than I expected and unbeatable at that price. The wine had structure and depth.
