A positive surprise. Eighteen years of age the wine is in a wonderful spot. Deep dark color! Spicy and sweet nose. Complex bouquet of dried fruit, cherries, raisins embedded in an overall sweetness. Light on the tongue but with great depth in the aftertaste. Great length. A joy to drink. Will hold for some more years but why wait?

Je sais, je sais: encore un peu jeune. Mais quel vin! Nez envoutant, poussière, chais, fruits secs, dattes, chocolat noir. En bouche, onctueux, texturé, plateau de fruits séchés, raisins de Corinthe, olives, figues, confiture de coings, épices. Longue finale qui efface toutes les contrariétés de la semaine. Il faut préparer la cave pour les prochains!

Color - dark and opaque burgundy, nose - black raspberry, ripe cherries. mouth- a powerful concentration of flavors, first a gentle sweetness and then a refined bitterness, the wine is very balanced. Soft tannins. In my estimation, it can be aged for another 10-15 years and still be enjoyed now. amazing Amarone.

A private lunch with a friend (The Ritz Restaurant *, The Ritz Hotel, London, UK): Recent release, Collezione Grandi Annate. At a beautiful stage in its development, wonderfully complex evolution of nuts, forest floor, leather, whilst retaining lovely freshness and fruit, rich and powerful but not alcoholic, finely grained tannins, balsamic finish with excellent length.
