Bold fruit forward (plum, black cherry and iron come to mind) with lush mid palate and lasting finish. Decanted 90 minutes before tasting. Served with lamb rack, okra & tomato sautéed and wild rice. I did observe that the wine was very cloudy and unusually thick in appearance but this did not effect the taste.

Opened 30 minutes ahead, fruity, chocolate scent, velvety, solid, paired with steak, potato pancake, peas, risotto rice balls- first time consuming this one, looking forward to the next!

Wine Education Service - The Veneto (LSE): Inky red, with age. Vegetal fruit on the nose with a hint of age. The attack is sweet fruit, intense, very rich with prunes in the mid palate, complex and very long. Needs 5 to 20 years.

From memory. Decanted 2 hours. Dark chocolate and black olive flavors. Not overpowering and the alcohol (15%) was well integrated. Went well with lamb. No need to age this - it's drinking just fine now. Elegant style for Amarone.

Wine Education Service Veneto Tasting (LSE, London): Opaque, brickish rim. Port like aromas. Sweet raisins. Velvety feel. Sweet and tannic. Brooding. Needs time.
