  shared with pat at selkirk manor. i continue to prune the cellar of bottles with past due drink by dates. this bottle got overlooked in recent years due to lack of feedback from others. tonite, the wine showed well. it outperformed longevity estimates from professional reviews. the wine is well made and was enjoyable. still shows prune notes as is typical of amarone. no signs of oxidation or decline although the one is fully mature. those holding bottles should enjoy them now.

  The wine is drinking exceptionally well. Strong note of cherry, had to let breathe a bit to get maximum flavor.

  Dark, bitter and initially crisp finish. Smoothed out by day three. Hold

  served by mario and aurora to accompany our first dinner at their home. no formal notes. an impressive bottle with substantial complexity. some prune as would be expected along with a variety of other dark fruit flavor notes. i suspect it still has a few good years ahead of it. will make an effort to take more detailed notes when drinking the remaining bottle.
