Still wonderful--drank with a tajarin al tartufo bianco, which it complemented beautifully. Decanted about an hour in advance--not too much sediment. Opened up quickly in the glass with strong aromas of plum--alcohol well integrated at this point--a blockbuster of an amarone. Sadly only one bottle left.

Drank at my husband's birthday celebration (tasting menu at Maialino). For a 25 year old wine, this is still quite young tasting. First time with the Amarone. It def has those port-like characteristics you hear about and a bit more heat than I really liked. We opened and decanted and poured. In retrospect, it needed a longer decant. Did work quite well with the lamb on the menu and even with a tomato sauce based lobster dish. Very good.

Une autre bombe cet Amarone. Pas facile à apprécier ce cépage mais une fois bien vieilli, il peut être sublime. Cherry blossom et raisin sec ... Ben sec. Alcool pas mal présent.Un nez pas mal discret et une bouche complète . Il sera jamais meilleur que ça . 17/20

Medium red color. Aromas of blackberry liqueur, stewed prunes and underbrush. Ripe, sweet fruit in the mouth with outstanding depth and length and well-integrated oak and tannins. This 24 year old Amarone was silky and complex on the palate and was delicious with every dish served at the Vetri BYOB dinner.

I am not a big fan of amarone but this one had a perfect balance between alcohol, sugar, tannins and fruit. Seemed so much younger than its real age.
