Community Tasting Note

Saturday, 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.
