  December 23, 2022 - Wow, this is a wine that forces you to pay attention to it. Intense stewed fruit flavors. Despite the 17% alcohol it doesn't come across as hot like a zinfandel of that level would, more as highly extracted. Enjoyable with food that can stand up to it. Drank the last glass after dinner 2 nights later ... had hardly changed and could almost be mistaken for a dessert wine.

  January 2, 2021 - Showing very well. Tannins supple (though not fully resolved). Food friendly—can see this pairing well with bollito misto as well as hard cheeses. Spice emerging, acid giving definition. Doesn’t feel like 17% ABV; wears it nicely.

  August 11, 2016 - Deep maroon with lighter rim; great nose, round, hard to pull individual items but I get fresh cherries and cream, meaty, dense, overreact strawberries, green note perfectly accents the underside of the fruit, complexity is obvious but I am positive delineation will develop over time; wow, viscous, lots of tangy red fruit- raspberry, currant, cherry, cranberry, almost into pomegranate, so sappy and powerful but tidy at the same time due to acidity, slight alcohol though this holds 17% really well; a baby but I really enjoy this now too; bring on the blue cheese.

  December 17, 2015 - Monthly Tasting Group LTB 2015-09; Classical Italian wines (By HV and FB): In the bouquet sweet red berries, some coffee, metal and minerals as well as some mint and a touch of barnyard. On the palate a sweet start with ripe dark berries and cherries, chocolate, a firm amount of sweetness, ok acidity and some bitterness. Improves with some more air time. There is some heat in the finish. Wait a few years. 88 – 89

  November 3, 2015 - Undoubtly a good Amarone, a very long aftertaste, even freshness, no heavy, loaded, style, still, this type of wine is not mine. I'm from the fruit department.
