2003 Mithas Valpolicella Superiore, Corte Sant'Alda, Veneto

"As elsewhere, in 2003 Corte Sant'Alda suffered both the heat & the drought but also a June hailstorm. This single vineyard wine shows warm yet defined fig & damson aromatics in keeping with the vintage, while the palate shows the benefit of Corte Sant'Alda's elevated vines, giving the wines great zip to balance out the lush super-ripe & new oak flavours as well as impressive concentration for further ageing over the next few years thanks to a 25% drop in average yield."
