Evident bricking. Dried berries, coffee, cocoa and cinnamon. The palate sweetness is nicely balanced, making this full body a quite restrained mouthful after all. One of my preferred Amarones, no doubt.

Amarone tasting (Sherry-Lehmann): A very elegant wine, but the incredibly strong green bell pepper nose and the very dry tannins on the end makes me wonder if this is not overly extracted and will remain out of whack for the duration of its life. But then again, there is something fun with a fresh powerful wine with a lot of grip that still manages to come across as more stylish and elegant than any zinfandel or cab at close to similar alcohol levels. Cannot be dismissed!

Drank at Bar Italia. Nice, but too young. Leave for 3-5 more years...

Herbal and green on the nose and palate; needs time to mellow, and I think it will. A slight floral soapiness as well. 87-89
