Better than expected on the basis of last bottle - has lasted better, although still past its best. Thinning dried blood, chocolate-mahogany colour. On the nose very-concentrated mixed fruits; sweet caramel with fennel seed, cumin seed and coriander seed. Very concentrated sweet - recioto-like taste. Interesting mix of sweet and dry, a dose of acid but otherwise lacking structure. Chocolate liqueur finish. Good - glad I left it this long.

Truly excellent Amarone, at it's prime right now (will have to open my last bottle within the next 6 months). Completely mellow, chocolately overtones on the nose, full bodied raisins and "cinnamon" on the tip and a long long long chocolate fantasy going down. Silk like tannins that are on the verge of dissappearing. Definitely the best Amarone I've had so far this year

Crushed violets, nice black fruits, a different Amarone, lighter finish, not as much baked fruit. Drink soon or within the next year. LO

At it's peak. Quite good, decent long finish, dark fruits and chocolate.
