Double decanted with slow-ox after 30 minutes in the decanter. Medium weight (light for Amarone), which is actually a style I like in Amarone; it doesn’t overwhelm with a raisiny, over-ripeness. Good fruit, big tannins submerged beneath. Decent balance. Didn’t experience any decline in this bottle over the evening. 90-91

Wonderful for the majority of the bottle, but then a very marked falling-off, the aroma & taste muting rapidly—a real disappointment. At its zenith, 96, but factoring in the deterioration, 91+.

Easy drinking and enjoyable for half the bottle. The last half the wine started getting oxidized yet still drinkable. Drink now.

Vraiment très bon. Fruits cuits et fraises mûres.
Belle longueur, très bon avec le risotto.
