could barely read the label, so was essentially a blind tasting lol. Brilliant classic Grange; spices, mint, tobacco, chocolate, dripping with cherry fruit, hint of vanilla. Probably at it's peak. Just wish I had more
While I agree that there is chocolate, spice, tobacco, red fruit.....this is as closed as a Nun's knees. Wait. I have one more 2007, maybe I open in 5 years. F*ck that....in 4 years!

OK, kinda young for Amarone but this is quite nice already. Heavy, cigar, spice, prune, chocolate, black cherry, leather, chewy raisins....WOW. Am glad I have half dozen more
