  February 25, 2019 - Decanted and drank over a 2-hr period, alongside spicy stir-fry. Wine held up against the peppery dinner. Color a deep Ruby, with only a tinge of straw around the edges. Nose of black licorice ropes (not anise). Soft tannins. Better than expected.

  February 3, 2012 - Not really exciting, not what you would expect of an Amarone, but then again, the price was not what you would expect for an Amarone.

  January 24, 2012 - Not actively bad. It doesn't have any of those "crappy wine" elements (vegetal/overoaked, etc), but it doesn't have too many good wine elements, either. Nose? Fine - Some earth, dark fruit. Palate - Same. Finish - decent (~10 sec). I don't know what it cost, but it was probably too much for what it is.

  October 25, 2011 - Lacking the strength and complexity I expect from an Amarone, but not unpleasant.

  September 8, 2011 - Good body, a little sweet, only a trace of tannins left, and some heat. Rich flavors of raisin and chocolate. That it fell apart the second day reinforces the signs that it won't benefit from further aging.
