March 7, 2020 - Way to young, not sure about potential. 87 for now, half of bottle left from yesterday, will revisit later today and update.
Bought the case on online-auction, paid US$25 per bottle, to cheap to be true? Anyone out there who’s been scammed on amarone deals?1 person found this helpful 2,980 views

3/8/20, 5:12 AM - So I revisited the bottle again last night. I left the cork in over night and it must have been a good 24 hours since I first opened and decanted the bottle.
Sure might be that this wine just needs another 5 years in the cellar, cause it was thin an acidic now as well. Maybe I should have left the cork out to get a better understanding.
If a fraudster would have sold me other wine, I assume it would be a more easy going wine than this. So my conclusion is that either this was a bad bottle or that this wine now is closed. So no hurry to open the rest of the case, nor the double magnum in my cellar!
