Don't understand the previous reviewer - all my research suggests this vintage was fine! A fabulous Amarone in a terrific place at the moment and many years left under its belt. A perfect balance of dried raisins (not too over the top but nevertheless distinctive), acidity, prunes and that unique mixture of initial sweetness and dry finish (but not too dry). Decanted into a glass one hour before consumption and one of the loveliest Amarones I've tasted. High alcohol? No surprise - just read the label! If you don't like high alcohol steer away from Amarones and don't complain that it delivers exactly what it promises (duh!). An absolute hedonistic delight and strongly recommended (but don't worry - there is definitely no hurry!)!

Bottled seemed in good shape; good color and nose. However, I found it to be "thin" and lacking for fruit and intensity.

Bad vintage for this wine. Plenty of stuffing and raisin depth but it is simply off balance and lack freshness and acidity to be really enjoyable.
