One bottle of two cases purchased in the year of our daughter's birth. My wife and I drank this one tonight while she is home for Easter weekend.

Amazing as we remembered drinking this wine at the winery. Highly recommend both the wine and a visit to its origin!

Enjoyed a bottle this evening. Wine was much better than the Cowboy football. Based on the prior review, I’m glad we waited to drink this bottle.

Maybe I had the best bottle of the vintage but for $18, this was great.

Very good but may need a few more years age.

I suspect the 2009 was past it's peak when consumed in January and February 2013.

The wine looks Garnet colored. The legs are Medium. It smells like Red Currant, and Black currant (cassis). The body is Medium. The wine has Silky texture. Overall: wonderful surprise, much more complex than anticipated.

Much more complex and fuller body than other Amarone we've had, more sophisticated. Wonderful.

The favorite of our three wine tasting last evening to include a 2007 Schramsberg Brut, this wine, and a 1989 Veuve Grand Dame.

These are wonderful wines; think I waited too late to enjoy this one.

My wife turned up her nose and she's usually not terribly particular.
