December 21, 2018 - A relatively modest Amarone, but delicious. The nose was forward with black cherries and plums. The palate had some horsepower with the dark fruit, some chewiness that a good amarone needs, some earth and a good bit of acid to deal with the sweet elements of this wine.

February 27, 2014 - The nose was confectionary with ripe black cherry and cinnamon, yet turned savory in the glass as hints of undergrowth and wild herbs joined the mix. On the palate, it was weighty, yet silky with medicinal cherry, dark chocolate and savory herbs. The staying finish showed bitter cherry and dark chocolate, which seemed to go on and on. Very nice.

August 23, 2013 - full body; dense cooked plum and prune with some date/earth; medium acidity struggles to keep up with the big fruit.
