As nice as Amarone can be. Dark Cherries, marzipan, Herbs and the little glue on the nose. Good Maturity Full bodied with typical aromas. Very balanced with good power and a nice acidity. Good length. For me the 16,5% Alc are to much, even if it is integrated pretty well.

Dark purple in the glass with a slight brownish edge. Great nose. On the palate raisin, herbs, spice and a touch of leather. The finish is long, sweet and a touch sharp. Great wine. In 1-2 years probably even a touch better still. 16.5% abv kick you of your chair.

I'm sure this is still a baby but it is quite good now. Beautiful pure ruby color in the glass, bright and clear, no sediment. Luscious dark cherry and Asian spice on the powerful nose. Very nice mouthfeel and balance with multiple layers of dark, brooding, and lightly raisined fruit. Just a fantastic structure to this and it should only continue to improve. 5+13+18+9= 94

I had this previously, maybe two years ago, and really enjoyed it. Last night we opened one, with exactly the same storage, and it was a gloppy alcoholic mess. Ah, the mysteries of wine...
