    March 26, 2024 - I'd seen 90s for this wine and was excited.
    Can't get close to that.
    And, no amount of time in the cellar will make this better.
    Just drink it... And move on.

    It's fine... but it's not trying hard enough for the cost. Even if it was $20, it's a far cry from anything complex!

    It's gentle and soft and was fine with Chipotle Chicken and Wild Mushroom Sage Risotto.

    83 is generous score.
    It's not poorly made. It's just un-interesting. Without much character. It serves purpose....as a meal accompaniment. And that's about it.

    Won't buy again

    January 20, 2024 - Sealed under natural cork. Not decanted. Deep mulberry colour. Rather shy on the nose. Takes lots of coaxing and then reveals lightly mascerated purple fruits, roasted chestnut and tar. Full bodied, gobs of sweet slightly and dessicated fruit extract, soft tannins and acidity, nicely astringent and an off dry finish with some heat. The palate mostly mirrors the nose. Dried purple fruits, chalky tannins, some bark and tar, black minerals and bitter herbs. Finished long and grippy. Quite nicely balanced and a more classic style of Amarone with less sweetness. Very good and I would even day refined. Easy 92 points!
