August 31, 2009 - Surely very Amaronic unfortunately its cork defected the wine.

October 2, 2005 - Maybe the oak is a little strong as it initially smells strongly of old wood & cigars (and I'm fairly tolerant to oak), but with good depth of fruit & supporting (but unobtrusive acidity). Definitely some mushrooms in the mix and long tannins that give it a very dry finish. Alcohol (14.5%) kept in check much better than a recent Tedeschi Amarone. Following day, possibly better & you just got the feeling this was vinfanticide as all elements seemed in balance even though it was still quite tight.
I think this wine was (like the cheaper Passo Doble) a trial bottling with it's handwritten styled label. Anyway, both are a success and worth looking out for.
