  October 9, 2023 - Tasted over 2 hrs
  -nearly opaque dark red purple no clearing
  -rather muted rich plum fig
  -med/med- acidity is just enough to provide some focus, med+/full weight thick silky textured somewhat faded fig plum spice port-like with a hint of salinity that adds a fresh note to the finish along with some heat and med- tannins
  -big wine with classic Amarone features probably fully mature now, the heat isn't overwhelming but may become more prominent as the fruit further fades; paradoxically this bottle seems a little fresher and certainly more enjoyable than a bottle 8 years ago

  September 26, 2015 - PopnPour, tasted over 2 hrs
  -mostly opaque dark red
  -concentrated rich dark fruit fig caramel alcohol
  -med acidity, med+ weight, raisiny not very complex lot of heat on med length finish with med tannins
  -not enough complexity or depth to hide the high alcohol, anticipate a couple of years before the fruit starts to fade leaving it more imbalanced

  August 22, 2014 - Lean for an Amarone but rich and elegant. Long finish. Classic and good. Not overly raisiny. Can't remember much else
