Nose: Dried fruits, but somewhat lighter than what I was expecting. Taste: Fruity, tannic but not disagreeable, with a acidic kick at the end. Medium length.
A very decent wine would have maybe expected more ... hence my 88 could even be a 89..... Would I try again? Maybe but another year for sure and would depend on price.

Deep powerful dark color. Not much on the nose but a whiff of alcohol. Where did the fruit go? Was it ever there? On the palate: a familiar full body round mouth feel and flavors emerge:distant fruits, earth. There is a firm backbone of tannin that is never quite sharp. This is not a contemplative wine: no vibrant ohm note of the interplay between fruit and acid that some Amarones present with endless persistence. It did pair well with lamb and veal but still I was disappointed.

VinItaly Day 3 (Verona, Italy): Crimson core, lake rim, clarity; spicy, red apple skin, focused, slightly rustic, clove, allspice; lighter body, sour cherry, orange, fig, good mid, strong tannin; good but I was a bigger fan of the '11 Amarone Classico.
