May 16, 2010 - DAWGS May 2010 - Italian Whites and Reds (su vino's home in Southlake, TX): WIMLNR
Garnet color in the glass, cloudy looking. Nose was a bit green with some added notes of tar and berries. Flavors of currants, Kirsch and berries. Medium acidity, resolved tannins, medium body. Drink now. I'm suspect of the provenance of this bottle so no rating. -

December 20, 2009 - Blind Amarones at David's place; 12/19/2009-12/20/2009: Nose: Dark fruit, black licorice, burnt wood, Palate: Massive feel in the mouth, firm but balanced structure, long finish, still gripping my cheeks 30 seconds after I swallow. Matchstick, citrus zest, black licorice, ripe cherries. Grips the mouth for a long finish. Overall: very delicious througout, super young, mildly complex.

December 19, 2009 - Amarone (Blind) (My House): Solid core of dark red, but also light browning at the edge. Some stewed fruits on the nose, spicy plum, cracked pepper, and some coffee aromas coming through. It's very slightly funky. Soft (though not silky) and a bit restrained on the palate, showing graphite, light black pepper, light blackberry, and tannins build. A initial kick of funk on the finish, followed by dusty plums, sulferated apricots, and alcohol begins to build on the finish. The alcohol is the biggest thing left lingering on this wine and the thing that really brings it down a few notches for me. Interesting otherwise.
