February 26, 2022 - Still drinks okay. Some of the sweetness remains, along with slightly stewed plums and some of the raisin-y ness, but much less than typical amarone (or maybe I'm just out of practice having not had any for a while). Decent pairing with some spicier food. Almost certainly nearing end of its prime though.

April 3, 2017 - Dark garnet purple in the glass, Big nose of dried cherries and blackstrap molasses. Palate echoes the nose with a bit of tar on the long finish. Full body; medium acidity; medium minus tannins. C'est incredible! Oh wait. That's French.

September 28, 2014 - Good amarone, not great. Typical grapey taste, with a little tar thrown in.
Will not search out again with passion.
