  opened and drunk over different days. Mature red with some brown reflections, first notes of oak, immediately faded away. At the palate clear hints of chocolate cherries, cherry liqueur and ripe plums. Summer 2003 was terribly hot in Italy and maybe this Amarone won't go the long distance. Fashinating but not as seductive as expected. Best paired with Parmigiano Reggiano. Lonely companion of slow evenings while Xmas approaches

  At Garth's. Delicious, consistent with my previous notes.

  Decanted at 1862 with Garth, the second wine of the night. Consistent with my previous note, this paired well with pan seared foie gras.

  Tasted again , last time was Feb 2017. Agree with last tasting, consistently higher acid and less extracted than others. More complex flavors than I remembered, on the nose there are chocolate cherries, cherry liqueur, spearmint and prunes. A bit surprised by the color, fairly rusty, wondering if this will go the distance. Still high acid and medium plus tannins though

  Well balanced, good with food. Not overly sweet or raisined. Dark cherries and chocolate. In a good place.
