  With LB and AG. I like the TB style. This doesn't have to be kept for long term cellaring, this can be open and drank now or in next few years, no need to wait if you want. The wine will continue to develop for many years, but it's already showing some maturity signs and is in perfect spot for drinking. I liked this wine a little less than last bottle a few years ago, although my nose wan't in great form..

  This can be taken as a compliment or a complaint, but I've had Port with less intensity, sweetness and apparent alcohol. That said, it is an immaculate wine whose complexity is bounded and balanced, though the sweetness does take over with time. Cacao. Rich blackberries. A bit of tobacco. Opened for a few hours prior, this sadly is lessened over time. A pretty extreme Amarone.

  Wow, what a nice bottle of red. Not an experienced Amarone drinker so I am not sure on readiness of the bottle, but it was seeming on the young side, although very drinkable already. Delicious. 17% alc. Plum, black cherry, dried fig, cacao, creme de cassis. Dark red color. Full body. Massive wine, 2010 was a great vintage for Amarone, one the greatest apparently. Strongly recommended, but maybe wait more years before drinking
