Aerated 1+ hr prior to blind tasting event, then re-bottled. Very similar to my notes of over 6 years ago, but not as much raisin. Still quite fruity for its' age.

Tannicbeast pretty well nailed the tasting note. I kicked it up a point because it went so well w/a pork cutlet meal --- the wine gave great flavor to the pork which was not seasoned except with mild gravy. A cheese plate of some soft French fromage and bread after the meat, than a glass alone killed the bottle. Definitely got money's worth with this one. Glad I gave it prolonged rest before finally drinking as it was mellow with dark fruit, lingering flavors.

A bit passed its prime but with intense black cherry flavor. Excellent amarone.

Decanted 3 hours before dinner then re-bottled for dinner. Very nice, excellent QPR for $20 in 2010
