Eric Keating Wines and a few others (Lou's): Lou served this after the tasting. I think he said it had been decanting for a few hours. Red/dark brown in color. The nose is port like. Prunes, chocolate covered raisins, maybe some espresso. On the palate, this is dry. Tastes much younger than it looks. Slightly raisiny, some dark chocolate, some raspberry fruit. Certainly alive and not over the hill. I do now know this producer, but this is really nice. Thanks.

Not as concentrated as last tiime I had tasted, but still had a lovely aroma of milk chocolate and cocoa butter, with chocolate and soft plum flavors. Tannins are fully evolved and the finish is very smooth and polished, if a bit short.

Delicious Amarone that is drinking beautifully now but has many years left on it.
