October 22, 2013 - Decanted for two hours.
Assertive cherry aroma and a hint of charred oak. Typical ripe but bitter fruit flavour but rather hollowing out and lacking the weight and attack one associates with Amarone.
Not unenjoyable but at the end, I suspect, of its useful life. Drink up! -

November 6, 2010 - Dark ruby
nose: leather, oak, candied cherry. Did not offer much and needs lots of swirling for the nose to develop.
Bitter, not too much tannins, sharp acidity. Alcohol a bit strong for what the wine has to give.
Had this with star anise braised roast beef. The food allowed the wine to shine a bit more. -
