This starts out charming on the nose with a beautiful bouquet of berries and subtle leather notes. However, this quickly turns out to be most overwhelmingly oaked. Not sure this will get any better with time.

This is getting into a really nice place now. Of course at 17% alc, this is fairly massive and won't be everyone's pick but, if you are into Amarone, this one is good. The herbaceous notes (almost like Eucalyptus?) carry this wine and overlay the bold presence of red berries and the general sweet character of the wine. Had this with cheeses at the end of the meal and it worked like a charm.
