Hit all the right Amarone notes for both me and my spouse, who probably enjoys Amarone more than me. Its 16.5% was (thankfully) not a distraction from its well-balanced structure and flavors. Just the right amount of raisin-y pleasure on the palate.

Nice tasting on its own, especially after opening up for a bit. However, with dinner the taste was still good but the food tended to accentuate the high alcohol content (16.5%) which we hadn't really notice before hand.

Acidic at first then mellowed with a beautiful nose and more balanced palate.

Nicely developed, maybe on the peak at the moment but still some years do go.
