  Absolutely flawless bottle - capsule was clean and free of mold, cork came out in one piece. Even the label was flawless. I joked that it must have been forged but I don’t know who would be spending time on a wine like this. Plus, the contents would be pretty tough to replicate!
  
  Nice bricking, clean sherry aromas. Purple raisin without any RS. Surprisingly youthful for a 44 year old wine. Utterly unique and sparked an interesting discussion about the ageability of high alcohol wines. I think of this more like a port, unlike the high octane internationally styled wines of today.
  
  This was a beautiful bottle, but the nod goes to the ‘74

  This bottle was in great shape. Served with pork tenderloin. A bold wine, yet resolved tannins. More intensity in this vintage than I have seen in other older vintages. This bottle still had years ahead of it.

  Part of vertical Amarone tasting from Bertani (2005, 1994, 1981, 1975 and 1964)
  
  A very nice great structured wine - especially the palate was great with cooked dark fruit soft tannins and nice acidity. The finish was long lasting.

  Verticale di Amarone Bertani (Bottega dell'arte del vino, Milano, Italy): Brick red. Initially did not open up, then nose of dried flowers, wallnut, liquorice. Looks a bir oxidized, too ripe.
  
  Rosso mattone. All'inizio si sente qualche puzzetta di riduzione, poi il vino si apre su sentori di fiori secchi, noce, liquirizoa. Al palato sembra un po ossidato, ha avuto tempi migliori. Forse un po troppo maturo.

  This is an excellent old Amarone. Pop the cork and let the wine breath for at least an hour, then enjoy it as it continues to evolve for at least 3 hours.
