October 3, 2021 - Deep, dark, balanced & integrated, this wine draws you in with its complexity. Showing slight browning & no sediment, the wine does not reveal its 16% ABV. The natural prune quality of Amarone is tempered by a freshness that is delightful. Sorry this is our last bottle.
I must add this was the most challenging cork ever to pull intact from a bottle, even using the Durand, requiring 20+ minutes of brute force. Worth the effort. 96. -

January 9, 2018 - First bottle opened was flawed and undrinkable. Second bottle seemed fine and given an 86 rating. I have had this wine several times since 2014 and the drinkable bottle was still not up to what I remember the earlier ones being. They have been in temperature controlled storage since purchased from WTSO. Certainly a huge variability in bottles.
