Community Tasting Note

Monday, May 28, 2012 - Very deep, practically opaque color. Very expressive, rich nose with aromas of milk chocolate, sweet dark cherry, prune, leather, some raisin and a hint of savory wood. Dry taste with very full body. Flavors of sweet dates, milk chocolate, baking spice and leather. Acidity is low-ish, but the grainy tannins give the wine some nice density and structure. Long and astringent finish with flacors of wood, leather and chocolate in the finish.

Nicely developed Amarone that has shed some of its sweet fruit baby fat. Nice, savory spiciness and astringency to counterbalance the sweet, dark fruit lying underneath. Definitely a lot better now at 7 years of age than when consumed young; most likely will also get better for several years to come. A good wine, but still, 27€ for a 0,375 bottle seems a bit too much.
