  • Medium - full bodied. Blackberry, plum, chocolate, tobacco on the palate. Fine grained tannins and bright acidity give the wine a freshness. Long finish. Lovely.

  • Revisited a couple of years down the line.
    Still drinking very well.
    Figs, prunes, raisins, damsons nose & palate.
    Full bodied, beautifully balanced, well integrated tannins and long finish.
    I would still give this 5+ years.

    But... if you had Apothic Red then this wine is the same but on steroids. Apothic 13.5% versus 15.1%. I have nothing against high alcohol in wine matter of fact I like Amorone.
    But... In this case your tongue feels alcohol. I have nothing against alcohol.
    But... there's 100 pounds gorilla made of sugar. You almost feel its crystal between your teeth.
    I can understand that there are people who like dry wines full of sweetness, but I can't understand why you can like wine in which alcohol pushes to the first place.

  • Wow. What a wine!

    Dark ruby color, long legs. Super expressive nose of blueberries, blackberries, anise, smoked wood, forest floor undertones - a lot going on in here.

    The palate has a nice balance, great structure: lots of black fruits, oaky vanilla, anise. Lots of fruit, but not in an overpowering way. Fresh, round. Smoked meat.

    Tannins are almost wholly integrated, and the finish (with nice, sweet vanilla notes) is medium-long.

    This is an amazing wine. Balanced, complex, great by itself and with good alike. Such a great purchase - even better given the price point!

    Tasted non blind.

    Dark garnet color in the glass, clear looking throughout. Nose of camphor, currants, plums and black cherries. Flavors of black cherries, plums and currants. Medium acidity, medium tannin, full bodied. Drink now with air or continue to hold.
