Sunday Lunch - Greg & Sayo with friends (The Conservatory, Crown Wine Cellars, 18 Deep Water Bay Drive, Shouson Hill, Hong Kong): A couple of bottles towards then end of a long Sunday lunch between 16 of us. Bright and alive black-red semi translucent colour. Nose is sun-dried tomato blend of sweetness and savouriness. Slightly confit cherry fruit but much less than I normally associate with Amarone. Nice burnt campfire wood element. Palate is freeze-dried blackberry, very dry acidity and tannin but in a sweet/dry way. Still heavily tannic. Heady and lovely reverberance and resonance on the very long finish. Intruiguing and contemplative. The first time I have ever 'got' Amarone and have seen why some friends I respect love it so much.
